Already installed and latest version

Is good, no need for anymore action.

Just wanted to say I have the same problem. Disabling webmin repo lets me update but webmin and virtualmin are no longer updating and stuck on version webmin 2.1, usermin 2.0

I’ve had webmin updating for many years on centos 7, now it’s changed.

yum-config-manager --disable webmin
lets me update other packages, but that isn’t a solution. I don’t know what is wrong with the webmin or virtualmin repos.
I have these repos.

One thing for sure here – when using Virtualmin, you should have ONLY the virtualmin-xxxx repos — delete the webmin repo as the virtualmin repo will contain the latest version of webmin that has been vetted to work with virtualmin.

I doubt this will fix all your issues, but it is something needed to be done. Note the actual webmin repo is for those users NOT using virtualmin (this perhaps needs more documentation and emphasis) :slight_smile:

You have a different problem, @tez . (I mean, it’s a problem to have the Webmin repos enabled on a Virtualmin system, and it’s good you fixed that. But, you have an additional, different problem from what this thread is about.)

You have old Virtualmin repos; you’ll need to switch to one of the maintained repos.

To update, download the current version of the install script from
Downloading and Installing Virtualmin – Virtualmin (or from your software licenses page, if a Pro subscriber), and run it with the --setup flag.

Make sure you run the current version of the install script (old version doesn’t have a --setup flag, and it’s a bad idea to run the install script on a production system without it, though it’ll ask for confirmation before doing any damage…some folks say “yes” to prompts pretty automatically).

e.g.

/bin/sh virtualmin-install.sh --setup

This will convert you to the maintained Virtualmin 6 repos. The Virtualmin 7 repos have minor incompatibilities, so we don’t automatically convert the old 5-and-below repos to 7.

The Virtualmin 6 repos will be maintained until around the time Virtualmin 8 is released sometime mid-next year, which will roughly coincide with the EOL of the only maintained distro available in the old repos (RHEL/CentOS 7). So, you’ll need to do more hands-on upgrades at that time, anyway.

This change is not disruptive.

If you have further questions, please open a new topic, as your problem is not the same as the one that opened this topic.
