Presumably you mean Netscape 4.77. It depends on old X library packages whose functionality is replaced by new packages (with different names) in Xfree86 v4.3. That said, I don't know whether the issue is that the new libraries are in some way incompatible with the old library calls (so that NS4 won't work with them); or whether it's simply a reorganizing of package contents and the NS4 packages don't know about the new packages (they don't explicity satisfy NS4's dependencies) and the new packages don't have "Provides:" fields covering the old libraries. You could try going ahead with the updates, then re-installing NS 4.77 by hand, telling dpkg to not worry about dependancies; and then see if NS still works. Otherwise, I guess you gotta choose between X 4.3 and NS 4.77. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
