Webmin Install on Debian snag

Trying to install Webmin on Debian and am stuck.

Got the expected dependency errors and ran the apt-get but then libio-pty-perl has further issues:

OK I figured it out :)

I needed to run an apt-get update first!

after that I could install libio-pty-perl

Setting up libio-pty-perl (1:1.07-1+b1) ... Setting up webmin (1.490) ... Webmin install complete.

Thanks Joe and Jamie and have a great weekend!

Glad to hear you got it, and thanks for the update!
