Hi, none of those worked. It seems to be because it can not remove (--purge) a package which does not have ant files and when I try to reinstall it apt tries to configure the packages which need it. I need a way of totally nuking those packages from apt's list so that it forgets that they even exist.

Try:

apt-get --purge remove webmin webmin-core etc.

And/or:

apt-get --reinstall install webmin webmin-core etc.
apt-get --purge remove webmin webmin-core etc.

One or the combination of those should do it.
