I see the issue i was set up on debian and installed via apt and then I ran into the 1.999-2 issues and tried to installed the deb package via dpkg -i and I think that the apt won't work or it has not in the repos yet.

It should not have told you a new version was available if apt didn't have it. That is definitely a bug, which has existed for years, somehow (Ilia keeps fixing it, and it keeps being broken, I don't know how).

It's also a bug that it sent you to the Virtualmin forum News page, when you don't even have Virtualmin installed. So...it's got a new bug to go with the original longstanding bug.

troysjanda commented 2 years ago

Also notices that the work around to add the file release with the number 2 in it will show the the installed version is 2.000-2

EDIT: Fixed a miss type. Not 21 it was supposed to be 2. Sorry

OK, thanks for responding.

swelljoe commented 2 years ago

And, thank you for filling in details about how you installed (using apt), I was going to ask!

Oh, that's another new bug. Jebus. We're just digging ourselves deeper and deeper on this.

let me clairify that I originally installed it via apt. However with the issues with 1.999-2 I tried to fix it by installing the .deb package from the Webmin site via dpkg -i. Really not sure if that makes a difference or not.

@troysjanda What is the output of the following command when run from the system where you see that false-positive update message?

curl https://www.virtualmin.com/software-latest

Wait, what? Did you add a file release and put 21 in it?

I don't expect you or any other user to see this happening as Webmin update is not on the list at all (as you can see!).

Did you perhaps upgrade Authentic Theme manually to version 20.00?

I got notice that there was an update for the theme and hit the update button.

iliajie commented 2 years ago

Please describe what you did/mean?

Yes, now it makes sense. You've gotten theme 20.00 update that uses a new file for remote version check.

troysjanda commented 2 years ago

See https://github.com/webmin/webmin/issues/1713#issuecomment-1214161773 I did the following

cd /usr/share/webmin
sudo pico release
typed 2
saved and exited

iliajie commented 2 years ago

Alright, we will fix that. For now go to side slider, click cog button at the bottom of the page and click Clear Cache button. It should make that message go away.
