Webmin is not longer found in Debian 'Testing'?

I'm using Debian 'Testing' but webmin does not seem to be available with 'aptitude search' (Anyone knows why?). Is there a way to install webmin without installing from source files?

Thanks !

That is not testing or a stale list, I assure you they have been removed.

I never liked webmin anyway ... lol

I was once forced to build some packages using webmin binaries in a class. What a buggy nasty thing it was. Swore I'd never have it on my machine. There are people who swear by it, tho. I guess if you get it stable and never upgrade anything, it works good.

It's not there in testing at the moment, but since the packages are already installed on my system, I'm lucky I guess. Sooner or later though it'll be back.

Why not? I find it useful in some areas. For instance, I use the MySQL admin module frequently. It's very useful as a database creation tool. I also use it minimally to configure a few things, but I don't tinker around with system settings using it.

Maybe for security reasons?

It had a long story of security problems, now I don't know the state, seems ok.

I'm running it on my local machine and I have a firewall blocking most outbound connections...

Mostly I use it for convenience.
