hi

I cannot find webmin on etch:

# uname -a
Linux cc.mydomain.net 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 21 16:06:54 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

# apt-cache search webmin
#

my repositiory:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Beta #i386 CD Binary-1 20070317-21:45]/ etch contrib main


deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main
deb-src http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main

deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib

webmin is in the contrib section of the repositories.

So your /etc/apt/sources.list file should look like that :

deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

antidrugue, are you sure? I thought I recalling find that webmin was only in sarge and woody for some reason....
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/s...ll&release=all

You are absolutely right. My mistake. Sarge is the last Debian release shipping with webmin. I didn't look thoroughly on that one. I just saw "webmin" in the contrib section, but obviously it was a Sarge optional package for webmin.

There is a .deb package directly on webmin's homepage though:

I've downloadet webmin_1.330_all.deb and try to install, but get the following error:

# dpkg -i webmin_1.330_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package webmin.
(Reading database ... 68558 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking webmin (from webmin_1.330_all.deb) ...

knows someone howto solve this problem ?

apt-get install -f

solved this problem !

now my etch testing can find webmin:

# apt-cache search webmin
webmin - A web-based administration interface for Unix systems.

I'm using this sources.list:

deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

apt-get is only a frontend for dpkg, so anything you install via dpkg will show up

Any idea why they stoped shipping webmin with debian?

[jledhead]

this is how I install webmin

Using the Webmin APT repository

If you like to install and update Webmin via APT, edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your system and add the line : deb Index of /download/repository sarge contrib You will now be able to install with the commands : apt-get update
apt-get install webmin All dependencies should be resolved automatically.

from the webmin documentation Webmin

works to install and when updates are released.
