That error pretty much sums it up. Seems like there’s a lock hanging around, maybe from a system shutdown in the midst of an update or similar.

If there is no git process running, you can remove that file.

This is etckeeper, which automatically keeps a history of changes to your config files in /etc in a git repository.

I am also not seeing any mention of the new podman module

I see it.

How did you both upgrade? Did you use the Virtualmin UI, or did you use SSH?


You can easily install it by running:

apt install webmin-virtualmin-podman

Just the normal Virtualmin UI method.
