My guts are telling me that they cross over but perhaps not totally. For
instance, tkseti depends on tk8.2 but I had only 8.3 and 8.4 installed (I
don't know how that happened either). Adding 8.2 to the installed list
didn't affect the color issue mentioned earlier in my original post either.
So... I _could_ start removing them to see if something pukes on me, but I'm
more concerned with unseen problems.
Deborphan lists none of the tcl or tk libs, so packages dependent on them must
be quite specific. It would be nice to be able to clean things up if
possible.
Thanks for helping this non-geek, Rob.
