  Well do a dpkg -l |grep webmin
that will list the packages that have that in them
Then try removing some of the other packages with apt-get remove package name
note you don't remove webmin-102-deb or what ever it's called it is 
apt get remove webmin.
Failing this use dpkg -r packagename you might want to add the -P or --purge 
options there as well.

 dpkg --help will give you the options you can use here
