papukaija,

Wait, are you saying that it's OK to have packages in "stable" for
software which doesn't work on that version of Ubuntu, and is even
listed *by the software producer* as not working?

And for that matter, to delete a piece of software which *did* work
(Webmin) to replace it with the buggy software?

I see this as pretty much "critical fail" of the Ubuntu packaging
system, expecially since eBox, once installed, cannot be uninstalled
cleanly.  With the ebox packages which are currently available for
Jaunty, you've created a huge booby-trap for anyone who makes the
mistake of trying them, where the only way to undo the mistake is to
wipe and reinstall your Ubuntu system.

When I download something from "stable", I expect it to be, well,
stable.  Not a package which will take my system down and make it
unusable.  This is certainly making me re-evaluate what linux distros I
recommend to commercial users.

And upgrading to "karmic" will do nothing ... per the project's note
above, Karmic isn't tested either.
