Like the kernel, Netscape packages are version-specific; that is
to say that different versions are treated as separate packages,
not as different versions of the same package.
To install the latest statically-linked version of Netscape
Communicator, use something like
# apt-get install communicator-smotif-475
If you want to track the latest release, try
# apt-get install communicator
Communicator is a meta-package that depends on the latest
statically-linked release; that way if Communicator 4.76 makes
it out the door and gets packaged, you should get it along
with everything else when you go
# apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
