Tried installing dialog manually:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package dialog 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
E: Package 'dialog' has no installation candidate

Re: Install Error - dialog has no installation candidate

This has been resolved:

The live server edition of Ubuntu 18.04 needs to update its sources list.

Run the command...

sudo add-apt-repository universe

...before you start the iRedmail installer.
