Yup, kinda figured. It's the back-out that's got me stumped.

Sorry, libnspr4 is already the newest version
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I think there's some weird dependency on the ximian.4 thing, but I'm
not sure what (or what to do to find out).
"apt-get install netscape" at least got me a graphical web
browser. But I know I'm going to miss the text size change widget in
mozilla before long.
I might try out that Hungarian site next week. This weekend I'm
offline (not quite in Hungary, but actually in Prague). After the
Ximian escapade, I'm a bit wary. (Ximian claims to work on Potato.)
