Probably.  ;-)

I would change "sarge" in that line to "etch", and "stable" in the line 
below (security updates) also to "etch", then run "apt-get update" 
followed by "apt-get upgrade".

I'm not familiar with webmin but I can't imagine how it's managed to do 
a proper upgrade without changing sources.list.  You may still be in the 
position that your system hasn't really been upgraded (certainly not if 
you're still running Sarge's libc6).  If that's the case (e.g. if when 
you run "apt-get upgrade" it proposes to upgrade several hundred 
packages rather than two or three) I would follow Chris Bell's advice 
and read the documentation.
