So that's simply not going to happen. The message you saw earlier about moving a previous webmin installation refered to a previous Debian package installation. Computers are simply not smart enough to deal with the near-infinite number of installation possibilities outside the packaging system so Debian packages don't even try. Oh and I was wrong and you were right about aptitude. You may want to submit a wishlist bug asking for orphaned packages to be flagged. It's probably easy to implement and sounds like a useful feature. -- Jaldhar H.
