i haven't used dselect much in the past 2 years but maybe you could
try

apt-get install navigator ?


the netscape packages I have installed:
communicator					install
communicator-base-477				install
communicator-smotif-477				install
netscape					install
netscape-base-4					install
netscape-base-477				install
netscape-java-477				install

(this is a woody system the package names may be slightly
different for potato)

I usually prefer communicator over plain ol navigator and
do:
apt-get install communicator

sounds like the core of the software didn't get installed.
