There is indeed an issue with the Ubuntu 8.04 version of the installer, we're working on correcting that.

However, there's a quick fix -- if you open up the install.sh script, and jump to line 103, you'll see a line that begins with "ubudeps".

And on line 102, you'll see a shorter line that begins with "#ubudeps" (ie, same word, but commented out).

If you comment out the one, and uncomment the other, it should work for you.

That is, comment out line 103, and uncomment 102 -- then try re-running the installer.

Eric - is there a bug in the installer that we need to fix here?

Yup! There's a bug in the installer which occurred while adding Ubuntu 12.04 support.

I see what we can do to fix it -- I should have a fix for it checked in tomorrow after I've done a test run on Ubuntu 8.04.

Okay, this issue should now be corrected in the install.sh script now available in the Virtualmin repository.

Let us know how that works for you!
