When trying to install webmin on ubuntu I get
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package webmin
I am using this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-webmin-on-ubuntu-16-04 and have tried it multiple times, any ideas? Oh I also have little to know understanding of things ubuntu. Thanks

Welcome to AskUbuntu. I had a look at the instructions, it said to add a repo to your sources; the repo was for Debian 3.1 (Sarge) [download.webmin.com/download/repository/dists/] which is really old. I liked webmin when I first found it, but lost interest in it [very quickly] when I realized it didn't respect the .conf file (it deleted all instructions/comments making it much harder to document & use anything else esp. modern features). Did you get any errors with prior commands (adding keys [apt-key], updating software-lists [apt-get update])?

if you want/need it in a hurry; download.webmin.com/download/repository/pool/contrib/w/webmin is where the package is. you canwget http://download.webmin.com/download/repository/pool/contrib/w/webmin/webmin_1.880_all.deb && sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.880_all.debthen continue with later steps. This however doesn't fix your issue (why webmin wasn't found in repo's, and any updates to webmin won't be found so its no fix) [fyi: wget downloads the file,dpkg -idoes the install step ('apt-get install' does both); the '&&' means dpkg is only run IF download was complete

can you also please re-runsudo apt-get updateand copy/paste (into the question) the lines around download.webmin.com/down... as I'm stuck at thinking that is the issue (I browsed the file structure quickly & nothing stood out as wrong). What Ubuntu are you using too please?

The 16 server. lemme finish this in the morning or the afternoon since I have school early in the morning. Oh and little to no, my grammar is currently lacking. I added the download.webmin part to the end of the list. Then the two parts after that work fine.

Please fix the formatting of your answer. Also,wgetis default to any Ubuntu I know of. And you could add the source of your information --> webmin.com/deb.html. Also, if you read the instructions OP followed, you will see that it's basically the same information.

Welcome to AskUbuntu. I had a look at the instructions, it said to add a repo to your sources; the repo was for Debian 3.1 (Sarge) [download.webmin.com/download/repository/dists/] which is really old. I liked webmin when I first found it, but lost interest in it [very quickly] when I realized it didn't respect the .conf file (it deleted all instructions/comments making it much harder to document & use anything else esp. modern features). Did you get any errors with prior commands (adding keys [apt-key], updating software-lists [apt-get update])?

The 16 server. lemme finish this in the morning or the afternoon since I have school early in the morning. Oh and little to no, my grammar is currently lacking. I added the download.webmin part to the end of the list. Then the two parts after that work fine.
