Install either the communicator or navigator meta-package (with apt-get
or dselect) which will install the various other packages you need. I
installed 4.73 this way last week and it worked fine.
The binary does not include 128-bit encryption, however, but if you
have a copy of that from your download, you can copy it over the
installed version.
