netscape 4.75 in security.debian.org is broken

2000-08-31 Thread Christian Surchi
Package: communicator
Version: 1:4.75-1
Severity: grave

I've updated communicator from security.d.o's potato packages. I had to
erase my preferences in ~/.netscape because it refused to save new
settings and when launched it was always like the first time with box
with license. I've lost cache, proxy, smart browsing, default page,
fonts settings. I've lost all application section, netscape wants to see
images with xv (all types, jpg, gif and png included). I set again
correctly for jpg and gif, but no results with png. 
Plugin do not work, in application section I can't use it. I've lst all
my settings for them.

All associated following mailcap I think, and it's impossible to handle
text/* with navigator too. :(

I had to blow away my preferences file (from v3) and let netscape recreate
one called preferences.js.  Otherwise it barfed:

~$ netscape
no recognized font charsets!
