SSLEAY-PERL has been pulled too..
apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl
Reading Package Lists… Done
Building Dependency Tree… Done
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
is only available from another source
E: Package libnet-ssleay-perl has no installation candidate

#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

thank you for saving my day, hope u gonna come up with more webmin configurations…

#dpkg -i webmin_(version).deb
get some error output about dependencies
#apt-get -f install
resolves dependencies and installs webmin
or you can do it the manual way
