Webmin: Can't get it installed for the LIFE of me.

[jimphreak]

I want to test out Proxmox to possibly get away from ESXi since I'm having all kinds of hardware compatibility issues with it right now.

I just complete the installation and want to get webmin installed. I followed all the videos and guides for it on Woodel.com but none if it has worked. I can't install any of the dependencies no matter what I do.

First I do the following after downloading the webmin installer and I get the following message:

root@pve:/options# dpkg -i webmin_1.750_all.deb

Selecting previously unselected package webmin.
(Reading database ... 31133 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking webmin (from webmin_1.750_all.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of webmin:
webmin depends on libio-pty-perl; however:
Package libio-pty-perl is not installed.
webmin depends on apt-show-versions; however:
Package apt-show-versions is not installed.


dpkg: error processing webmin (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
webmin

So I then try and install the missing dependancy packages by typing apt-get install -f and get the following:

root@pve:/options# apt-get install -f

If I try to install the packages one by one I get the following:

root@pve:/options# apt-get install libio-pty-perl

Reading state information... Done
Package libio-pty-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 'libio-pty-perl' has no installation candidate

I feel like I'm going in circles here and nothing is working. What am I doing wrong?

Also, this is what my sources.list file looks like and I've never edited it. Not sure what I need to add to this.

please run:

> apt-get update

any errors?

the package

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libio-pty-perl

should be install-able via apt-get.
