That's rather strange.

"Something else", I dare say.

Well, that's how it's supposed to be in the first place:

,----
| $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/wish /usr/bin/wish8.6
| tk: /usr/bin/wish
| tk8.6: /usr/bin/wish8.6
| $ file /usr/bin/wish             
| /usr/bin/wish: symbolic link to wish8.6
`----

Something must have deleted the /usr/bin/wish symlink.
