Apt Needs Counseling
I have a problem with Apt. The problem is that Apt is trying to configure a
package which I thinks still exists but in reality has been deleted. The
problem was caused by my installing 'Webmin' via Apt, then using its
auto-updater to update it and then Apt tried to update the version which did
not exist, so I went and deleted Webmins folders. Here is part of the error
message (it is the same for each package):
Setting up webmin-core (1.230-1) ...
/etc/webmin/webmin.acl: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing webmin-core (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of webmin-mailboxes:
webmin-mailboxes depends on webmin-core; however:
Package webmin-core is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing webmin-mailboxes (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
webmin-mysql
webmin-proftpd
webmin-core
webmin-mailboxes
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Does anyone know how I can tell Apt to just forget about those packages as
if they were not there (which they aren't) and to move on?
Thanks for all of your help.
