When I try update last virtualmin-config show me this error but I have perl v5.10.1 in the machine
Error: Package: virtualmin-config-6.0.27-1.noarch (virtualmin-universal)
Requires: perl(:VERSION) >= 5.10.0
Whaiting for help
Thanks
It tells you whats wrong. Either you really need at least PERL in the version with 5.10 and higher or there is an error in the script with detecting it.
But I have, see below
[root@xxxxx~]# perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

Hmm, yea. You wrote that in the first post too, sorry.
Either there is a pre-check which detects it wrong or there is something else interfering and triggering that.
Can you provide log files?
Edit: You could try a downgrade to 5.10.0, but I am not sure if that really does the trick.
I never have this problem before. I think that a package problem detection version of perl.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
@Joe might have a guess for that.
If I think theres a bug in the perl detection, but I dont know the package that well.
No! Don’t do that. It is not requiring exactly 5.10.0. It is requiring that version or any version higher.
What version of CentOS is this? What does rpm -v perl show?
That is why I said I dont think it will help since that version or newer is required. 
Hi Joe,
never had a problem with previous updates.

I dunno. I guess it’s something different about the RPM version I’m using to build on the new build server. I’ll try to test it when I get some free time, but it’s not a high priority at the moment…virtualmin-config is generally only used during initial installation and nearly all of the updates are specific to CentOS 8. It won’t hurt anybody on existing CentOS 6 systems to keep the old package forever. And, nobody should be doing new installs on CentOS 6 today.
So, for now…don’t worry about it. You’re not missing anything.
