This will not work; from my quick check on ftp.debian.org, Slink
didn't even ship with apt.  Of course, this problem is trivial
compared to the much larger difficulty that these binaries will not
run on a Slink system, either.

The only ways currently to get Helix GNOME working on a Debian Slink
system are to recompile all of the packages, or upgrade to Potato.
