Good afternoon. I tried to install Netscape Communicator, and received the error that it needed libc6, which I do not have. So I went back to use the old netscape 3.01 (i think) that I had been using, but it seems to have been partially purged.
I say partially, because when I went to install v3.04, I got the following message: ian# dpkg -i netscape_3.01-4.deb (Reading database ... 19956 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking netscape (from netscape_3.01-4.deb) ... - This release is for a different version of netscape than the one installed. Please 'dpkg --purge netscape netscape-beta' and reinstall this package. You will need the original 3.01 source archive from Netscape to do this. Place the source archive in /tmp. dpkg: error processing netscape_3.01-4.deb (--install): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: netscape_3.01-4.deb So, I tried getting the old copy, as below, ian# cp ~howland/netscape-v301-export_x86-unknown-linux-elf_tar.gz . ian# dpkg --purge netscape netscape-beta dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove netscape which isn't installed. dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove netscape-beta which isn't installed. Any ideas? Any way to tell what version of Netscape had been installed, just incase I have 3.02 or some such? Maybe I should just try purging .02 and .03 as well, and maybe get lucky...
