	The v4 installer assumes it is installing the libc5 version of NS, thus
it has dependancies on the libc5 package.  We now have libc6 versions of
NS, but there hasn't yet been an update to these Deb installers.  So you
did what you had to do (install NS without the Deb installer).  I did
the same thing.
