If you read the transcript, you'll see that dpkg gives an error while
unpacking the package itself, before it even looks at the tarball. Thanks
for the tip, though. Here's a part of the transcript again:
# dpkg -i netscape4_4.0-7.deb
(Reading database ... 28706 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking netscape4 (from netscape4_4.0-7.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing netscape4_4.0-7.deb (--install):
unable to create `usr/X11R6/bin/netscape': No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
netscape4_4.0-7.deb
