That let me make some progress. dpkg -r navigator-smotif-477 apt-get -f install dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.0-15_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin', which is also in package netscape-base-4 Errors were encountered while processing: dpkg -r netscape-base-4 dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of netscape-base-4: netscape-base-477 depends on netscape-base-4. navigator-base-477 depends on netscape-base-4. dpkg: error processing netscape-base-4 (--remove): dependency problems - not removing Errors were encountered while processing: netscape-base-4 dpkg -r netscape-base-477 dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of netscape-base-477: navigator-base-477 depends on netscape-base-477. dpkg: error processing netscape-base-477 (--remove): dependency problems - not removing Errors were encountered while processing: netscape-base-477 dpkg -r navigator-base-477 dpkg -r netscape-base-477 dpkg -r netscape-base-4 apt-get -f install It looked like several/many packages installed, then I got to this: Selecting previously deselected package xcursor-themes. Unpacking xcursor-themes (from .../xcursor-themes_1.0.1-5_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xcursor-themes_1.0.1-5_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/etc/X11/cursors/core.theme', which is also in package xlibs-data Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/xcursor-themes_1.0.1-5_all.deb at which point life becomes really exciting - dpkg -r on xcursor themes_1.0.1-5_all says 'not installed'. Trying the same on xlibs-data says 'dependent on xlibs'. dpkg -r xlibs comes up (not terribly unexpectedly) with a whole slew of dependencies!
