But you could uninstall the TKL version, then install the upstream version. That has a few downsides though:

  • The upstream .deb package includes all the 'default' modules so you will end up with a ton of modules that are of no use to you. The TKL packages allow individual modules to be easily installed or uninstalled one-by-one with apt.
  • Adding and removing modules is nowhere near as easy. (See above).
  • You will not be able to use the TKLBAM module (it is only available for the current Webmin version as installed in TKL).
  • The default Webmin theme is IMO quite ugly. You can install other themes ok but it means a bit of extra mucking around...

Still, if you have a particular need to have a newer version then it is quite possible, and perhaps you do not mind the above downsides?
