warnings and errors in 1.1 beta

[Dale Martin <dmartin@ece.uc.edu>]

Here is the VERY short list of warnings and errors that I encountered
upgrading to the 1.1 beta version of debian.  Note that I was running
a decent amount of the beta packages before as well.  Keep up the good
work!

[ This one was obviously a typo in a package at some point. ]
Will not downgrade ae from version 493-6 to 96.2-2, skipping.

Setting up netscape ...
 - This release cannot upgrade smoothly from previous ones.
   Please 'dpkg --purge netscape' and reinstall this package.  You will
   need the original source archive from Netscape to do this.  Place
   the source archive in /tmp.

[ end of errors ]
One note.  I noticed the version of netscape is still 2.0 - 2.01 has been out
for some time.  The changes required to make it current are minimal.  I don't
know who maintains this package, but I could probably make the required changes
to fix it.
