The depends I listed were pasted out of dselect, and the missing ones were off the right-side of the screen so I couldn't see them. Both dselect and dpkg -I give the same depends, which match the list you gave. I tried the installation method you suggested directly on the deb file, with no luck: cedar:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i mozilla-browser_2%3a1.0.0-0.woody.1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 94392 files and directories currently installed.)

Just to give the install a *really* clean start, I used apt-get to remove mozilla-browser, then updatedb and locate to go about removing all files with mozilla in their name on my hard drive.
