I tried to install netscape-base4_14 to slink and this is what I got: ollollo:/home/jason# dpkg -i netscape-base-4_14.deb (Reading database ... 46865 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace netscape-base-4 5 (using netscape-base-4_14.deb) ... Unpacking replacement netscape-base-4 ... Update-menus: waiting for dpkg to finish(forking to background) Update-menus: (checking /var/lib/dpkg/lock) dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of netscape-base-4: netscape-base-4 depends on libc6 (>= 2.1); however: Version of libc6 on system is 2.0.7.19981211-6. netscape-base-4 depends on liburi-perl; however: Package liburi-perl is not installed. dpkg: error processing netscape-base-4 (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: netscape-base-4
