Debian Sarge 3.1 install errors

Help! (Home for newbies)

I just downloaded install.sh, ran it as root, and after a whole bunch of Get: lines, I got this:

apt-get update doesn’t update anything. Do I need to add any special apt sources?

Thanks!

I re-ran the install and got further this time, but at the end:

Error: Failed to open /etc/webmin/virtual-server/config for writing : Bad file descriptor
Error

INFO - Installation of virtualmin-base completed.INFO - If you are not regularly updating your system nightly using apt-getINFO - we strongly recommend you update now, using the following commands:INFO - apt-get updateINFO - apt-get upgrade

Is this bad?

Thanks!

Hey Daniel,

Ok, so the first problem is a stupid mistake on my part in the software repositories (I rolled out “new” versions of a couple of modules with old versions). That’s now been fixed, by rolling out the actual new modules with correct versions. Thanks for the head’s up on that one.
