It happens. Suppose new a new v4 package is released or new v5 source. If you wanted to re-build, then you would also be forced to rebuild _all_ packages mentioned in the control file, including the installer packages. I've got an outstanding bug report about this (I asked if the error could be reduced to a warning). > > Are you looking to be able to install multiple versions of netscape or > > just one at a time?

I will have to test it with netscape3, however.
