Long time listener, first time caller...
I'm running a Debian Etch (AMD64) host server with the vserver patch, running Debian Etch (also AMD64) inside a guest context.
Inside that context, I'm attempting to run the Virtualmin automated installation script. In the process, the virtualmin-base package fails to install. The following is the error portion (until this point, everything else installs properly):

newserver:~# Indicates to me that Webmin is indeed starting and stopping. I've also checked the init script, which called /etc/webmin/{start,stop,restart} which also does it's respective thing.
Attempting to add the Debian source repo gave me an MD5mismatch and the source package wasn't located, so I was unable to see/edit exactly how that postinit is checking for the running process.
Yesterday the automated script worked just fine, today it failed. Have there been any changes that would have broken this since yesterday or is there something I'm overlooking?
Any help would be appreciated in getting this running. :)
