Bug#2194: tclX out of date

[Chris Walker <cjw1006@hermes.cam.ac.uk>]

Package: tclX
Version: 7.3b-6

tclX seems to be out of sync with tcl and tk. I think the problem may be
due the lack of a tclX74 package.

I installed  tcl74-7.4p3-2.deb and tk40-4.0p3-2.deb fine. When I try to
install tclX I get the following:


icarus:/debian/development/binary/devel# dpkg --install tclX-7.3b-6.deb
(Reading database ... 15805 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace tclX (using tclX-7.3b-6.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement tclX ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of tclX:
 tclX depends on tcl; however:
  Package tcl is not installed.
 tclX depends on tk; however:
  Package tk is not installed.
dpkg: error processing tclX (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tclX


I think tclX requires the packages tcl and tk which are actually
installed, but called tcl74 and tk40.

TclX is on version 7.3, and the packages in the stable and development
tree appear to be the same.
