Note that Jeff already "fixed" this by making LinuxCNC not use the buggy libtk-img library (turns out the functionality we used from that library had become available in core Tk).
I intend to upload a new LinuxCNC deb to unstable that closes this bug, which will prevent us from getting removed from testing. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky On June 29, 2022 10:56:46 AM MDT, "Steffen Möller" <steffen_moel...@gmx.de> wrote: >On 29.06.22 17:14, Stuart Stevenson wrote: >> What does 'autoremoval from testing' mean?
