These two packages are not complementary -- IIRC, they use alternatives
so that only one is ever used at a time. Check your setup to see which
one is being called (ls -l /etc/alternatives/wish should give you an idea).
My guess is that you have tcl7.6 as the default, which is outdated. If
so, you probably want to remove tcl7.6 and just have tcl8.0 installed
(and the appropriate tk package as well, of course).
