Looks like a dependency conflict around cockpit-bridge/cockpit-system versions and architectures, I doubt it has to do with Virtualmin itself.

If you don’t use Cockpit, get rid of it and rerun updates: dnf remove cockpit cockpit-bridge cockpit-system cockpit-ws

Otherwise, try updating Cockpit with --allowerasing option: dnf upgrade cockpit-bridge cockpit-system cockpit-ws --allowerasing

We have nothing to do with Cockpit. That’s a question for your OS vendor.

You can try:

sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf update

But, I doubt that’ll fix it in this case.

You can also uninstall Cockpit to get past this issue, or you can revert to a previously working version and exclude it from updates. And, then reinstall or upgrade once they fix their packaging bugs.

Thanks. Not sure why cockpit is even there. I never installed it and it looks like standard alama doesn’t install it. Maybe the image from my host had it.

Thank you. I don’t use it so I removed it.

My VPS always install it. Never had issue with it when installing VM or updates.

Screenshot of a quick deploy I just did.
