As Debian maintainers we try not to just shovel piles of code onto ftp sites and cds but integrate it into a consistent and elegant system. That means a Debianized package may differ in significant ways from the upstream defaults in terms of options, file layout etc. All the source of the .debs is provided. In a Debian source package there is a something.orig.tar.gz which is the upstream source and a something.diff.gz which is all the changes that were made by the Debian maintainer. So one solution to your problem would be to look at the diff and see what I changed in each module and apply those changes to the stuff you downloaded. > >I also need other webmin modules, e.g. samba and apache, so I downloaded >the .wbm files from www.wembin.org and installed them from webmin. > >The problem is that these modules do not work, whereas the ones from the >Debian packages do work. > A second solution would be to just apt-get install webmin-samba, webmin-apache, and webmin-dhcp etc. Is there any reason why you can't do that? A third solution would be to wait for the weekend when I do the next round of webmin .debs. At that time I'll make a set for potato and put them on my website. I'll be sure to post the relevant apt sources line on this list. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
