How old is your Debian (or whatever derivative)? What's the dpkg version?

Looking through the dpkg changelog, bzip components were deprecated in
favour of xz in 2014, and initial support for data.tar.xz looks to have
been added in 2010 with version 1.15.6.

I suspect you're looking at a major system update or a complete rebuild
to fix this, because all of the underlying package-building tools have
moved on, and there's only one Webmin .deb being generated.

-kgd

ah - I guess that is it - it is running ubuntu 7.04

I will have to make time for major rebuild
