The only NS related file that was upgraded recently was either
netscape-base-4 or netscape-base-461 I'm not sure which. Hmm, I
just looked at /usr/lib/netscape/*. There is no 'base' subdir
there, but there is a 'base-4' subdir with the uri_escape file. I
suspect a possibly broken netscape-base-4 package, perhaps? I'm
using communicator, not naviagator, so thats why I'm not having
the same problem you are. Hmmm, I just looked at the netscape
wrapper script. It makes a reference for uri_escape to 'base' not
'base-4', but I don't have a 'base' dir there. I'll bet that on
my sys, uri_escape is never used for some reason (communicator,
not navigator, remember), so its not failing on me, but this looks
like a problem with netscape-base-4. Try changing the references
to uri_escape in the wrapper script to 'base-4' and see if that
helps (Perhaps just a symlink of 'base' to 'base-4'?). Just a
thought.
