There is a reason why I like dselect (despite the wonky UI but I've
gotten used to that):
The key is that libc6 updated, and now conflicts with libc6-bin for some
reason:
| libc6-bin installed - ; remove (was: install). Standard
| libc6 conflicts with libc6-bin
| netscape-base-4 depends on libc6-bin
The upgrade of libc6 will delete libc6-bin, which will removed
netscape-base-4, which will remove the rest of netscape.
Put libc6 on hold (which will be a bit of a fight, since you'll have to
put a few other things on hold too, like libc6-bin, libc6-dbg, etc) and
it should be happy until the dependencies/conflicts are fixed.
