Re: Upgrading Netscape Installer

1997-09-02 Thread Brian White
 I really like the netscape installer package and used it many months ago to
 get netscape working. I have 3.01-1 currently installed.
 
 So far, when dselect tells me there is an update available on the netscape
 package, I've placed it on hold. However, I was wondering if it is
 safe/needed/possible to update the deb package without having to DL the
 netscape binary again?

Normally, yes.  The netscape installer automatically tries to use the
already existing files.

However, the fix to netscape for bash 2.0 only appeared in v3.01-7 or
there abouts, so that fix will not be installed unless you re-dl the
original archive.

If you don't care about that (or are using bash 2.01), then you should just
be able to upgrade the package without any problems.  Let me know how it
goes.

I've been wondering more lately after I upgraded my system to the glib6 
unstable version of Debian. I've been seeing errors when I try to print a
page. The error is as follows.

sh:error in loading shared libraries
/usr/lib/libgnumalloc.so.5: undefined symbol: __default_morecore_init

Would the installer package fix that? Or is it a bit more complicated than 
that?
