libxml-simple-perl is not installed by installer on Debian 9

Debian 9

I am hooking virtualmin up to S3 to push server backups into a bucket. After configuring the API keys, I clicked on the S3 buckets page and received a 500 error stating virtualmin couldn't find a perl xml module. I executed apt-get install libxml-simple-perl and it solved the problem. This isn't the first time I've seen this error, but for some reason the same solution didn't work before.

Thanks

Yeah, Virtualmin should warn earlier if that module is missing, and install it by default. We'll fix this in the next release.

This still doesn't seem to be in the release as the problem still manifests on Debian 9. Do you have an ETA?

Should be a couple of weeks ... but until then you can just install the missing Perl module manually.
