    webmin is in the contrib section of the repositories.

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

    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:
    http://www.webmin.com/

    now my etch testing can find webmin:
    Code:
    # apt-cache search webmin
webmin - A web-based administration interface for Unix systems.
    I'm using this sources.list:
    Code:
    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

    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.
