For some reason, even though xlib6g was installed, /usr/lib/X11/locale
was an empty directory. Since I couldn't figure out how to do a forced
install from an ftp site (i.e. what is the "package" arg for dpkg -i), I
simply replicated the 'locale' tree from another host, and now netscape
4.5 (installed from the slink distro) works just fine.
