How can i fix this? Ubuntu 18.04.3 | Webmin 1.940 | Virtualmin 6.08

Package kvm is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

The upstream cloudmin install script runs

apt-get -y install kvm qemu

But the package kvm doesn't exist anymore since quite some time (appeared last in precise in 2012).

Replace it with something more appropriate like qemu-system or in most cases sufficient just the one with your architecture qemu-system-x86 and it would pass the issue that you reported.

apt-get -y install qemu-system-x86

This also might indicated that the cloudmin sources might be somewhat outdated, once you fixed this and potentially other issues you could report them an issue to update this.
