Howdy all,
We’ve rolled out Virtualmin virtual-server module 8.0.1 for all repos.
This release provides smoother migration to the new Virtualmin 8 repo, whether it’s a manual repo upgrade or an upgrade from GPL to Pro.
Changes since 8.0.0:
As always, if you run into any problems, let us know in a new topic.
Was monolithic to modular one of the big changes prompting 7.x to 8.x ?
Repository-wise, this was a breaking change because after switching from the monolithic Webmin package to modular, an upgrade (like GPL → Pro) or a manual repo re-setup could end up installing only the Webmin core package, without the extra modules that used to come with the full Webmin package.
This update fixes that by detecting which Webmin modules were enabled before the switch and then installing the matching modular Webmin packages, so the same functionality remains available after the repository change.
The only known downside is that we don’t currently require the webmin-at package (should be installed manually), which the Virtualmin Support module uses. We can bring this dependency back later, once more users have upgraded to Virtualmin 8.0.1.
Other than that, upgrading to the new repository should be safe, and we’re not aware of any other issues at this time.

You should run dnf clean all and try again. And, also do not post your license credentials in public forum.

Hi! I have installed this update. Thereafter, I use the command sudo virtualmin setup-repos.
I think all is OK. Only to confirm:
Before, I had 2 repos for Virtualmin/Webmin (version 7, if I remember correctly). Now, I have only one repo: virtualmin-stable.
Is it OK?
Thanks!
@ivanbg
I have fresh install of 8.0 (now 8.0.1) and have only one repo virtualmin-stable
So seems correct to me
Thanks for the confirmation! 
Yes, it should always be just one repo. And, with the current design, as soon as Jamie releases Webmin, it goes to Virtualmin’s new repo immediately, unless pre-released.
To be clear, you don’t need another repo; in fact, it would cause issues because they have different types of Webmin packages.
I need to find a way to make sure these issues don’t happen again. Thanks for reporting!
@Ilia
Welcome and hope you can find a way 
Overall to the Whole team great work on VM 8.0
Thanks for your work!
Alright, I did find the way! This issue won’t happen again!
Thank you for your kind words!
