insserv: warning: during install on Debian 8

I'm getting some errors during the install script on Debian 8.
It finishes ok and seems to run. Should I be concerned about these messages below...

I am guessing this might have something to do with Debian's switch to systemd.

Howdy,

I suspect it’ll all be fine, but out of curiosity, is this a new Debian installation? Or was this upgraded from a previous install?

Some of the errors above seem to refer to older packages, such as Postgres version 8.3, which doesn’t come with Debian 8 (or so I thought!).

It’s a fresh install of 8. Only selected SSH and core packages during
install on x64.

We are confirming those errors are still present during Virtualmin installation

Using the following latest versions

  • Virtualmin GPL installer version 1.1.2. New fresh installation.
  • Debian Jessie 8.3 New fresh installation. Not an upgrade.
  • 64 bit
  • 1GB Ram
  • Kernel 4.4.0

Same here…

I tried to install on a lot of VMs (4, 8 and 16Mb RAM… 2, 4 and 8 cores), and, all time, get the error messages at installation finishing.

“insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s)…”

Virtualmin installs, run but the server stay with a lot of problem… The firewall… no one PHP Script with MySQL connection works, the Proftpd don’t start, and other problems.

Virtualmin GPL 1.1.2 on Debian Jessie

Howdy,

While we’ll look deeper into it, as we’d like the installer to run without outputting warnings – those should also be safe to ignore, nothing they’re referring to should cause a problem of any sort.

eulergui, I think the issues you’re describing there are related to something else, though it’s hard to say what at the moment. Could you open up a new thread on that, and give us some details about the problems you’re experiencing?
