Looks like that package hasn't been maintained for a few years. Check out webmin instead.

Yes you could do a few things to install it, but seriously it's not a wise choice to use an app to do what you want that hasn't been maintained since 2005. It is no longer in the repo for a reason.

Webmin is the popular current choice for what you want, check it out.

I should clarify I found a place that had several versions of it, and the latest was from 2007. Educated guess says that was the latest revision, but as I mentioned there could have been some other updated version which you used on your old 5.6 install.
