E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages

Hi I try to install Virtualmin in a new VPS whit this OS: Linux vps06 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.71-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

In the install process a had this error: .E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. And the process stoped.

I wached on Internet and don't looked any good solution, can you tell me about this error or say me the way to fix. I post the all log screen command.

Thanks, David

Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 1.1.2

WARNING:

The installation is quite stable and functional when run on a freshly installed supported Operating System.

If you have existing websites, email users, or if you manually installed Virtualmin via a Webmin 'wbm' module, you are likely to run into problems. Please read the Virtualmin Administrators Guide before proceeding if your system is not a freshly installed and supported OS.

This script is not intended to update your system! It should only be used to perform your initial Virtualmin installation. If you have previously run the Virtualmin installer, you can perform upgrades and updates from within Virtualmin itself, or using your system's package manager. Once Virtualmin is installed, you never need to run this script again.

The systems currently supported by install.sh are: CentOS/RHEL/Scientific Linux 7 on x86_64 CentOS and RHEL 5-6 on i386 and x86_64 Scientific Linux 6 on i386 and x86_64 Debian 6, 7, and 8 on i386 and amd64 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 12.04 LTS, and 14.04 LTS on i386 and amd64 Amazon Linux 2012.03 on i386 and x86_64 FreeBSD 7.0 and 8 on i386 and amd64

If your OS is not listed above, this script will fail. More details about the systems supported by the script can be found here:

Howdy -- it looks like you're seeing some unusual packaging issues with your VPS.

The distribution running on your VPS looks like Debian 8, but there are only apt repositories for Debian 7, and even some for Debian 6.

That is causing dependency errors when trying to install the various packages used by Virtualmin.

You may want to try a different VPS image, as it looks like there are some problems with this particular one.

If you have any followup questions -- it appears you're using Virtualmin GPL there. For Virtualmin GPL users, you would actually want to ask any followup questions in the Forums. We monitor the Forums, along with lots of wonderful folks in the community. Thanks!
