Tell me, what version of the xlib6 and xlib6g packages do you have
installed? Probably they are too old. I think you upgraded them to hamm
when they didn't work with netscape and left them in this state. Try
upgrading them to the latest version.
What I get is this:
[remco@blaakmeer:~]$ ldd /usr/lib/netscape/netscape
libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000c000)
libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x4004e000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x40057000)
libXmu.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXmu.so.6 (0x4006c000)
libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 (0x4007e000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 (0x4008c000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x40097000)
libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40135000)
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40138000)
libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x401f6000)
Once the libc.so.6 stops showing up I think you are safe.
In general, it is a bad thing if libc.so.5 and libc.so.6 both show up in
ldd's output.
