I just now did an upgrade through dselect, apt, and chose
the default in dselect (libc6). After the reboot, Netscape 4.7 worked
fine--even with plugger reinstalled. Netscape accessed other sites
well, too, so the 3c905tx driver is working here, too (in re. another
post to debian-user).
It is understandable that the package info for libc6-bin would
confuse (where it says "replaces libc6"), but the default action
(libc6) in dselect kept this server run
(installation of libc6 and removal of libc6-bin) kept this system
running.
