Bug#725697: tix: depends on tcl8.5 and calls /usr/bin/tclsh
Package: tix
Version: 8.4.3-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
We plan to drop alternatives for /usr/bin/tclsh from tcl8.5 (only the tcl package
will provide symlink /usr/bin/tclsh) before jessie release.
In your tix package the /usr/bin/tixindex script calls /usr/bin/tclsh,
so it will stop working after the change in tcl8.5.
I see two ways of fixing this:
either replace /usr/bin/tclsh by /usr/bin/tclsh8.5 and use tcl8.5 in
dependencies,
or retain /usr/bin/tclsh and use simple tcl in tependencies.
In the latter case, please, test you script using tcl package from experimental,
as it pulls tcl8.6 package as a default (8.6 as a default is planned for jessie
too).
