Webmin’s Software Package Update emails are not working

I have wrote yesterday about Webmin 1.5 features. I especially liked the one that will send me a notification when there is any update available to any of the components installed on my Linux box.

To my disappointment, I never got any Software Package Updates module‘s email notification, instead I got this in my mailbox

Undefined subroutine &main::list_all_current called at /usr/libexec/webmin/package-updates/update.pl line 12.

I have no clue what this means or how do I fix it. Any one who can help me with this?

Update: A fix is available for this bug

Webmin 1.5 features

Two new features introduced in Webmin 1.5 that really attracts me are

  1. Software Package Updates module, it notifies about new available updates and optionally can send email and/or install security or all updates
  2. System Status, collects system information by running a background cron job on your system

The interface has also improved a little, and its slower while loading (figures!), but gives more information in the dashboard.
