To run webmin you need some perl libraries.

sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.490_all.deb

Thats it 
Or add the Webmin repository to apt and let it handle or the dependencies.
1. Add the following entry to the bottom of /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
2. Import the GPG key:
wget -q http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
3. Run apt-get update and then install Webmin:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install webmin
It’s not recommended to install Webmin in Debian or Ubuntu. Webmin rewrites configuration files completely instead of changing just the parts which need to be changed. This way you loose all the sane settings the package maintainers chose.
