Bug#741905: ferret: Depends on deprecated tk8.4
Package: ferret
Version: 0.6-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
We are about to remove the obsolete Tcl/Tk 8.4 from the Debian archives,
but your ferret package depends on it (with an incorrect versioned
alternative 'wish (>= 8.4)' which can't be satisfied because wish is a
virtual package).
The following patch fixes this dependency and makes ferret depend on
the current default Tcl/Tk version.
