webmin
Webmin version 1.999-2 is now available, but you are running version 1.999.
Seeing this message in the dashboard but, when I press the "Upgrade Webmin Now" button, I get:
Failed to upgrade from www.webmin.com : You are already running the latest version of Webmin
Also seeing this message when trying to update another install of webmin; I suspect it's related so mentioning it here.
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
webmin
E: There were unauthenticated packages and -y was used without --allow-unauthenticated
It seems that upgrade.cgi doesn't yet do upgrades for minor versions correctly.
We will fix that.

If you didn't know you can go to "Webmin Configuration" then "Upgrade Webmin" check the box "Upgrade even if new version is the same or older?" it worked for me or just download the files
running on Ubuntu 20.04.4
I downloaded the .deb from sourceforge and installed ... no problems
but the message still says I'm running 1.999 and 1.999-2 is available (and the version is still 1.999 on the status above the msg)
I have restarted webmin with sudo /etc/webmin/restart and restarted the server also....
what should I do?
The -2 is a package release version, not the Webmin version. If you have the 1.999-2 package installed, you have that release.
New releases (-2, -3, etc.) mean there was a change in the package (i.e. postinstall scripts, metadata, etc.) rather than in the software itself.
ok, so just wait for the new version with the upgrade.cgi that can do these releases?
I don't recommend you use upgrade.cgi at all. You have a package manager. Use the danged package manager. We have repos for apt and yum.
The work-around for this issue is to go to Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Upgrade Webmin, and check the "Upgrade even if new version is the same or older?" box. Or do as Joe said, and install it using APT or YUM.
The proper fix is here : https://github.com/webmin/webmin/commit/6fc78a2104e5b1b22da02aaeb17f978b5439b2da
I did install 1.999-2 using APT and by saying "waiting for the new version of upgrade.cgi" I meant waiting for that fix
and the 'work around' didn't remove the message either... still saying that i should upgrade to 1.999-2
When you use apt or yum, you can/should disable that warning. At that point your package manager is the source of truth for the current available version and installed version. (We do this automatically in the Virtualmin installer.)

Thanks, Jamie. I have taken a deeper look and found more bugs in regards to upgrades for release versions - https://github.com/webmin/webmin/commit/3dfc71d8c14348ca68512be52869166cbf7525fd.
Also, it's important that when you build Webmin you add to makedist command a release version, something like ./makedist.pl 1.999-2. Doing that will create a release file inside of a package. I had it in my build scripts and missed it when was testing yours - sorry about that.
Also, anyone seeing a problem with notification not going away, simply put a text file in Webmin directory (i.e. /usr/share/webmin or /usr/libexec/webmin or whichever) with a name release and put 2 in it. It will represent that Webmin 1.999-2 is installed and will stop notifications from showing.

Thank you, this worked!

This did not work for me while this

did. Will I have to manually remove this file later on? [Update 24.08.2022: Yes. You HAVE to manually remove it, otherwise webmin will state that it is '2.000-2' rather than '2.000']
Conclusion from this bug is Minus symbol is not for describing versions, must be 1.9999.2 all versions must be tested before Release
Worked perfectly

Instead of adding Version numbers you could Release Version 2.0 as an Workaround ;)
Any actual Roadmap to 2.0?
Yeah, we will probably release version 2.0 as simpler fix. Functionally it won't be any different from 1.999

Webmin is now saying that usermin is out of date, but the updater says "Failed to upgrade from www.usermin.com : You are already running the latest version of Usermin"
I'm running 1.840 and the hover over on the dashboard says that 1.854 is out.
Clicking it takes me to the virtualmin forum with a few users posting the issue I'm seeing...
anyone here able to help?
The simplest solution is to manually download and install Usermin package, or configure repos that would contain latest Usermin.
We have already made improvements to the code to support minor releases.
how do I manually download the usermin package and configure the repos? In the virtualmin forum post linked from the dashboard there was a comment:
wget latest beta https://raw.githubusercontent.com/virtualmin/virtualmin-install/845f2f7346d24bab029eff699685401f0af24083/virtualmin-install.sh 5 and run this command sh virtualmin-install.sh --setup
I did that but it didn't seem to make a difference
Did you then tell the package manager to upgrade? You can also do it using System ⇾ Software Package Updates page. But you would need to refresh available packages first.
i get
Clearing package caches ..

Oh, I see, you missed this message above. Running this command will help to make update message go away:
miniservconffile=$(find / -wholename "*web*\/miniserv.conf") ; rootdir=$(grep "^root=" "$miniservconffile" | sed -e 's/root=//g') ; echo "2" > "$rootdir/release"
i did see that, and the message did go away, but now Usermin is saying that v1.854 is available and I'm on v1.840 ...
