I’m getting this error only from this week update of install.sh

Two weeks back it was working fine

i think it could be issue with recent change of

# $download "https://$upgrade_virtualmin_host/lib/slib.sh" >>$log 2>&1
# if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  # echo "Error: Failed to download utility function library. Cannot continue. Check your network connection and DNS settings."
  # exit 1
# fi
chmod +x /root/slib.sh

There is no slib.sh by default in Azure Ubuntu OS

I tried with All version of Ubuntu All same issue

But when i installed old version of install.sh file everything worked fine

Why would there be an slib.sh in Azure Ubuntu OS? It’s our library. We download it from our software repository.

I just did a test install on Debian which went off without a hitch…I’ll try on Ubuntu, but that looks like you just don’t have working network. i.e. your server can’t download things from our software repository.
