**Operating system:** Ubuntu Linux 18.04.4 **OS version:** Virtualmin Package Updates on System Information reports that usermin and webmin need to be updated when I already have the latest versions. How to get rid of this? 2 updates to Virtualmin packages are available. Use the [Software Package Updates] module to install them selectively. |Package|Description|Version| |usermin|all web-based user account administration interface for Unix systems|1.812| |webmin|all web-based administration interface for Unix systems|1.962| ---

Next time Webmin runs a background status update, it will go away. Typically every 5 min. ---

Hmmm. is status collection enabled? There are two places for it. Not sure if they do the same thing. One is in webmin, one is in Virtualmin. Virtualmin \> System settings \> Virtualmin Configuration \> Status collection \> **[Interval between status collection job runs]**. Or… Webmin \> Webmin Configuration \> background status collection \> **Collect system status in background?**. ---

Let me see… Virtualmin \> System settings \> Virtualmin Configuration \> Status collection : 5 minutes Webmin \> Webmin Configuration \> background status collection : Every 5 minutes (too) So both are enabled. ---

That almost certainly means `apt-get update` is failing. You’ll need to run it from the command line and see why and fix it. ---

I had that issue once before. I had been updating and restarting from a laptop I use to connect to the server. I went down to the physical server itself and restarted it and it vanished. ---

@Joe I’ve just run `apt-get update` from the command line and it did not report any error. @Gomez_Adams I will try to reboot my server tonight. ---
