The package in slink is a virtual package, meaning it doesn't actually contain any netscape programs, it just knows where to install them. You must manually download the *.tar.gz file from ftp.netscape.com and make sure you get a version with a file name that matches the pattern you got above, eg., communicator*-v4*.x86-*-linux*glibc*.tar* Once you download the file from netscape simply copy it to /tmp and rerun the installation via apt-get.
