Package libnet-ssleay-perl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

#apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl is available for sparc64 not sure for X86 systems.

Tonnie,
Stap 1:
Googlen voor de libnet-ssleay-perl
en dan
#apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl
Stap 2:
Gebruik de webmin-1.320.tar.gz eerder dan de alldeb pakket.
Ik ben overgeschakeld naar Xubuntu en de ander services later geinstalleerd.
Success!

You need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and delete the “#” character to enable universe and multiverse.
Then do:
apt-get update
apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl

I would jut like to confirm that you DO need to enable the universe repositories in sources.list. just spent an hour trying to figure this out. Im using Dapper/Drake Ubuntu 6.0.6 server and webmin_1.320_all.deb. seems to be very little info around the web on this issue
