The webmin package was removed from Debian for two reasons: !. It contained SSL support (and so should have gone into non-US instead of main) 2. The maintainer didn't realize that I had already ITPed it and built the packages in a way that was incompatible with the scheme I was going to use. The thing to do in cases like this is to look at the Bug tracking system for the package 'ftp.debian.org' The bugs for webmin should also still be open and mention this. New and improved webmin packages are on the way. The last holdup is how to cleanly upgrade from the old debian packages. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
