Hi,
just tried to install netscape4
on my hamm system:
stas ~ # dpkg -i netscape4_4.0-6.deb
(Reading database ... 15923 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking netscape4 (from netscape4_4.0-6.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing netscape4_4.0-6.deb (--install):
subprocess pre-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault),
core dumped
Errors were encountered while processing:

Core was generated by perl:
stas ~ # gdb /usr/bin/perl core
