Hi everybody, first of all..sorry for my bad english

When attempting to install the required libraries for Webmin, I get this error:

Welcome to LQ.

Please tell which OS, you are using. Debian Sarge ?
Or an old Ubuntu version ?

And show the output of the command
( cat /etc/debian_version )
cat /etc/issue

Hi knudfl, this is the output of the command

debian-gabriel:~# cat /etc/debian_version
5.0.2
debian-gabriel:~# uname -a
Linux debian-gabriel 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 04:57:38 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Sorry, just wondered, why you were asked for
some (very) old versions of perl ( 5.8.7...)

This is a clean install of Debian 5 :

Code:

debian:/home/knudfl# apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl libmd5-perl 
Reading in package lists .. Finished
Building dependency tree        
Reading .... ... Finished
New packages to be installed :
  libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl libnet-ssleay-perl
0 upgrade, 4 new install, 0 to remove and 71 not been upgraded.
0B/285kB to be fetched from archives.
After this operation, 1253kB of additional disk space will be used.
..  continue .. [Y/n]?

.. And I was asked for the install DVD, and got all 4 from the DVD.
( Debian 5.0 final april 2009.)

Your /etc/apt/sources.list should look something like

Code:

deb http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib
deb http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny-proposed-updates non-free contrib main
deb-src http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny-proposed-updates non-free contrib main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib

I got no any dvd..it was a netinst cd.. this is how my sources.list looks like..

debian-gabriel:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2a _Lenny_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20090817-16:43]/ lenny main

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2a _Lenny_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20090817-16:43]/ lenny main

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

deb http://debian.inode.at/debian/ etch main
deb-src http://debian.inode.at/debian etch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

debian-gabriel:~#

Should I replace the content and them try again knudfl? Thanks in advance

I guess, the 'etch' lines are causing your troubles.
.. And I can't see any 'etch' options in "Synaptic" > >
Properties > Archives > "Software Sources" , don't know
where you got it from.

Suggest : hide away your file in a backup directory or
uncomment all lines with a hashmark ( # ) like :
# deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib

... and just use my lines instead for a start.
The preferred "Download from" can be changed in > >
"Software Sources" , if you wish.

You have etch sources and a lenny install, and one line pointing at lenny (the 'stable' one). Change all mentions of etch to lenny, apt-get update, try again.

Solved! it seems that I wrongly manipulate the sources.list file, now it looks this way

debian-gabriel:/tmp# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2a _Lenny_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20090817-16:43]/ lenny main

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2a _Lenny_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20090817-16:43]/ lenny main

deb http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb-src http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main

I tried again apt-get update and issue solved..thanks a lot everibody =)
