Bug#233867: "Provides: xlib6g" needed in 4.3.0
Package: xlib6g
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: normal
I have an old Netscape 4.77 dating back from Potato that I absolutely need to access certain sites that refuse to work
with Mozilla or even Opera. Unfortunately, it is dependant upon xlib6g, which seems to be absent in XFree86 4.3.0.
Luckily, I recall reading somewhere that it should be possible to generate xlib6g if needed (it simply was omitted
from the Debian release because almost nothing depends upon it nowadays, IIRC), but I do not remember what to enable
in the building scripts to get the required xlib6g_<version>_<arch>.deb archive. Could you please tell me? Thanks!
Alternately, if some existing 4.3.0 packages are supposed to "Provides: xlib6g, libxaw6" this might work. If this is
possible, could you tell me which packages to install? Thanks!
