Swat no longer installable!

After doing the latest upgrade on Warty (which updated over 100
packages from warty-security ending with "ubuntu6.2", including
Samba), SWAT is now broken. I was forced to remove it in order to
perform the upgrade.

When I tried reinstalling it, I got:

 swat: Depends: samba (= 3.0.7-1ubuntu6) but 3.0.7-1ubuntu6.2 is to be installed

Does anyone know of a workaround? Will a updated version of Swat be
released in the Warty universe that will work with Samba
3.0.7.-1ubuntu6.2?

If there's no getting Swat back, is there anything else with similar
functionality? I know that webmin has a samba component, but I haven't
been able to get webmin to work. When I try to log in
(https://localhost:10000), I'm prompted for user name and password.
Whether I type my user name/password or the root user name/password,
either way I get an authentication error.I do have a root password set
(sudo passwd root), so that's not the problem.Swat was working prior
to the above uninstall, so it's not like the problem with webmin is
apache. I've tried logging in as root and then running webmin and the
same problem. I'd really like to get Swat back because that worked
nicely!

I also looked online for the latest deb package of Swat and tried
installing it and ran into the same dependency problem.
