Hi guys!, happy proxmox2 for everyone!
I tried to install webmin on proxmox 2.0 Final. I can't install cuz have dependencies problem.

(Reading database ... 45138 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace webmin 1.580 (using webmin-current.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement webmin ...
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

Thanks for your help!
 
Hi... I've tried to install the dependencies

apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions libapt-pkg-perl

and this is the result...

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
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

Package apt-show-versions is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

E: Package 'libio-pty-perl' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'apt-show-versions' has no installation candidate

Please help!!!
 
I do not recommend to install webmin, but here are the mini instructions.

install needed dependencies:
Code:
aptitude update && aptitude install apt-show-versions libapt-pkg-perl libio-pty-perl

download webmin package manually with wget and install with:

Code:
dpkg -i webmin_1.580_all.deb
 
I guess the issue with webmin is that you introduce a potential security risk and that webmin itself perhaps could break other things, too. IMO I think that the Web-GUI of Proxmox should be rather sufficient for most administrative tasks and that you better keep your production systems as "clean" as possible compared to the reference Proxmox installation.

Agree with
 
So, here is my problem today. Being a cowboy & all i went ahead & installed webmin on my proxmox 2.1 server (it's just a play thing so not the end of the world). I then went & ran an update on all packages found that could be updated. Apache was on the list.

One of the first things that the update did was to uninstall a couple of proxmox packages - YIKES!! Proxmox is buggered now.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how i might reinstall the missing packages - is it even possible now? I did this at work & i'm at home now so i cant recall the specific packages that were removed, but i do have a record of what they were.
