Re: upgrade to webmin 0.95 error with custom 0.921

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

The problem  you are seeing is a bug in webmin 0.92 ..
Just upgrading the modules for 0.92 won't solve the problem though - instead
you will need to upgrade the entire of webmin (using the first form on
the Upgrade Webmin) page.

However, if there is a debian package for webmin 0.950 you should
install that, otherwise the old version will still be around and still
in the debian packaging system. I would have hoped that the webmin in APT
is kept up to date with the standard releases :)
