Wow, great. I wasn't aware of this. Now the only question is, why we
still have libc5 versions of netscape and why the libc6 version of
netscape doesn't depend on xlib6g (>= 3.3.6-3). But these are
cosmetics...

I withdraw my suggestion to include the libc5 version, because the
libc6 version seems to work quite stable here (since yesterday, I
hope, that there won't come up problems later).
I personally prefer to package navigator, but if there isn't space
enough for both versions, communicator may be the better compromise.
Tschoeeee
