compiling an entire system from scratch and then emerging webmin (version 1.170-r1). Then, `/etc/init.d/webmin start` complains that /etc/webmin/config doesnt exist and to submit a bug to bugs.gentoo.org. `ls /etc/webmin/` contained no files. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge webmin (NOT upgrading from old webmin) 2. /etc/init.d/webmin start a quick fix that worked for me was to emerge =app-admin/webmin-1.170 and then emerge webmin to upgrade from 1.170 to 1.170-r1...everything works fine with this step. ls /etc/webmin/ shows all the files and the config file that should be there
Both versions use the same code to create /etc/webmin/config in pkg_postinst(). Did you break out of the install perhaps? I can't reproduce this.
i never quitted the emerge with a ctrl-c or anything, if thats what you mean. probly just some weird one time thing then. i'll install gentoo on another drive and try to reproduce this
I have the same problem, on amd64 arch. Error: * Error starting webmin. /etc/webmin/config is not present. * Please report this on http://bugs.gentoo.org. Also: sed: can't read //etc/webmin/miniserv.conf: No such file or directory In emerge output.
I also get this error. Fresh stage1 system, first attempt installing webmin on it or starting it. quasar root # /etc/init.d/webmin start * Error starting webmin. /etc/webmin/config is not present. * Please report this on http://bugs.gentoo.org. I remerged, and I noticed this near the end of the merge: sed: can't read //etc/webmin/miniserv.conf: No such file or directory The quick fix listed in the intitial post fixed things for me.

damn. I can't fix this unless someone who has the bug DOESN'T do the workaround so I can debug the system with them. Can you try to retrigger the bug by doing: rm -rf /etc/webmin && emerge unmerge webmin && emerge webmin Log that whole thing and attach the log here. Do you have /etc/webmin/uninstall.sh on your system?
*** Bug 76185 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
as soon as that pc finishes reemerging world i will rm -rf all of webmin and try again and help debug...i can always reconfigure webmin again i have no clue how longs its gonna take tho...emerge keeps segfaulting with non-reproducible errors and memtest86 running for 24 hours showed no errors so its weird. ETA of emerge finishing is next year...pun intended :)
Will backing up /etc/webmin somewhere else allow me to restore my configs later? If so I'll give this a shot.
i tried the following: emerge unmerge webmin rm -rf /etc/webmin emerge webmin and still the same results, sed error at end of install, /etc/webmin only has uninstall.sh in it, and webmin will not start because of missing configs.
Created attachment 47278 [details] I too am missing the config files from /etc/webmin/ attached is the log from: script rm -rf /etc/webmin && emerge unmerge webmin && emerge webmin exit
Please provide the contents of: /tmp/.webmin/webmin-setup.out when it fails.
fixed in -r2. Thanks for the help guys.
