Hi,

What do you have on /root/virtualmin-install.log file?

Possible solutions could be:

  1. chmod 755 /usr/bin/dpkg - should be set by default but who knows (also possible apt-get install --reinstall dpkg)
  2. apt-get remove dpkg-dev - might cause issues in some cases
  3. apt-get clean
  4. apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.

I’m still getting the same error.

This is what I get when I try to look at the /root/virtualmin-install.log file

root@ip-172-31-27-79:~# /root/virtualmin-install.log
-bash: /root/virtualmin-install.log: Permission denied
root@ip-172-31-27-79:~#

Oops, I responded to the wrong thing. Ignore my old conversation comment!

This looks like you’re installing on an unsupported distro/version.
