I think that version is no longer available.
I suggest that you install a newer version, such as the navigator
package from the Progeny site (actually a dummy package with
dependencies which will install several packages). This will give you
version 4.77, which is a big improvement over 3.04.

It looks like you are trying to install from a Debian potato CD instead
of Progeny newton. If so, it would be better to direct your
questions to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list instead of
the Progeny list.
