Howdy,

It sounds like something created a /etc/group.lock file, but hasn't completed. Do you see a process id in that file? If so, is there a matching process that's currently running?

That's for responding. I didn't see that process running.

Here's the deal. A month or so ago, I tried to install that opendkim, one of the optional installs associated with Virtualmin, found in the leftmost column of the page. But during the install, it crapped out. And now, everytime something needs to be installed, it tries to reinstall itself. Isn't there some way to get rid of that? Again, this was a Virtualmin option. I think it might be the one under Email Messages->DomainKeys Identified Mail. Is there a way to either force it to go ahead and finish installing, or rid it of the need to try to reinstall it everytime? Please advise.

PID 13873 doesn't show to be a running process. It's like it's still hung in the netherworld of my server from the attemted install a month or so ago, ghosting sort of like. Any ideas?

Howdy,

I would suggest removing that group.lock file, and then running this command:

dpkg --configure -a

Once you do that, do things begin working as expected again?

I made a post to you that somehow failed to post.

What I did was go back into Virtualmin and click on the DomainKeys Identified Mail. It must've known that it was installed or in the midst of an install gone awry, because it happily removed everything associated with DomainKeys Identified Mail. I haven't checked yet, but I have a good feeling that the issue was solved by doing this. And thank you for your time, andreychek. I know you volunteer your assistance and don't profit one dime from it other than the good feeling of helping others, which is a grateful reward in and of itself. Thank you so much.
