Hi I seem to have some incompatible dependencies in trying to obtain Netscape version 4.6 from the .debs. My problem is that, according to the dependency resolution screens (I copy and paste from various conflict readouts here):
navigator-smotif-461 depends on netscape-base-4 (>= 10) netscape-base-4 depends on liburi-perl liburi-perl depends on libmime-base64-perl liburi-perl depends on perl (>= 5.004) libmime-base64-perl depends on perl-5.005 perl-5.005 depends on perl-5.005-base perl-5.005-base conflicts with perl so basically perl (which is v5.004) is somehow keeping me from installing. I'm no expert here, but I'm savvy enough to know my /etc/apt/sources.list may have something to do with this. Please find it below. One thing I *have* tried is the "Q" option in dselect to override the dependencies. This doesn't seem to work, as dselect fails to download and install the netscape .debs anyway. My question is, what is the "right" way to solve this dilemma?
