Ack again!!! Missed the fact that the netscape-base-4_14 in unstable
depends on libc6(>=2.1). I have a copy built against lib6(<2.1) at
http://widget.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis/netscape-base-4_14-i386.deb.
So install the liburi-perl and libwww-perl and this netscape-base-4
package all at once and then proceed with the rest.
That *should* do it,
