Unable to install webmin modules

[pepedog]

Yes, you run pacman and installed stuff to build packages.
Now run this command
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'abs extra')
If that doesn't do a pile of stuff, look back to where I told you to edit /etc/abs.conf and try again
Now cd and all the rest

If you are having trouble creating a package - just install it manually, it will probably be easier. Webmin is written in perl so no need to compile anything.

Hate to dig up old threads; but didn't want to create a new one either.

I've followed every instruction pepedog has provided; but I'm getting no where.
After issuing $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'makepkg -Acs --asroot') I get an error at the end.. Write Error.
and it fails to create package.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

You need a swap file.
