Netscape 4.75 problems
I've tried to get Netscape 4.75 on my machine and I have trouble with
the following:
1.)I am unable to view text/html links. When I try to open the link I get
an error that vi won't execute the command. (I forget the actual error
message and I don't have 4.75 on my computer right now.
2.)When Netscape is executed to view an image there is a message box that
comes up talking about the Huffman encoding and image quality. This
really isn't a problem, just an annoyance.
What I've done so far is edit my apt.sources file to allow woody
packages, then
apt-get update -> apt-get upgrade
This has allowed me to install the 4.75 packages, but I found when
trying to remove them, the only way I could successfully remove was to
use dselect and ignore the warnings. Any reason I can't use apt-get
remove --purge (netscape/communicator)?
I am currently running 4.73 Netscape from potato and it works
fine. But when I do the apt-get upgrade it ignores the netscape
packages for 4.75. Anyone know why?
I had read on this list previously that there was a
new .deb package to download and that would fix the problems I
mentioned above. I tried it last night with no success.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm new to debian package management.
thanks
