webmin on Ubuntu 10.04

[yosiasz]

Hi there

Trying to install webmin on Ubuntu 10.04 I get a problem with libmd5-perl. Anyone out there has run into this problem? What is the solution to fix this missing package. It says that the package is not available.

Thanks

Since my laptop always connect to the internet, there's no problem with that :d

me as well. I had installed clean at work on a dev server, and ran into some similar issues, but after doing 'sudo apt-get install webmin' it told me dependency errors, do a -f install.

I did this, and it worked.

But now at home, I'm trying a 9.10 -> 10.04 upgrade, but the same procedure is not working, saying I have no install candidate for both, when I try and install libmd5-perl and webmin.

So you know, I did not have webmin on my server previously. This is a new load, 9.10 clean, then upgrade to 10.04. I may try a clean 10.04 now, if we don't get a solution soon.

found a solution:

there's a link to the download of libmd5-perl for jaunty, but also karmic. So I went to the karmic page, did a download:


wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/libm/libmd5-perl/libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb

then, install libmd5-perl;


sudo dpkg -i libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb

then, install webmin;


sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.510_all.deb

It now installs webmin, and is working correctly.

I am also trying to install webmin on Ubuntu 10.04 server but I get a dependency error of webmin depends on apt-show-versions. How do I fix this?
