The latest suse_linux broke netscape as well.  At least for me.

# I attempted to update my suse_linux emulator package to 6.4nb2 from 6.3.
#  I am unable to install suse_base (version 6.4) after pkg_deleting
# version 6.3.  The installer crashes when looking for
# /usr/pkg/emul/linux/sbin/ldconfig, which was deleted when deleting
# version 6.3.  (This is a classic catch 22 situation.)
# ldconfig is evidently installed when suse_base-6.3 is installed, but not
# when suse_base-6.4 is. Also, rpm2cpio is looked for, but not found, and
# something called "@@PAX@@" is not found, during the installation
# attempt.  suse_linux-6.3 installs fine.

# So, I will bite!  Has anyone experienced this problem with installation
# of suse_linux 6.4, and what should I do?

# The whole point of doing this is to run staroffice.
