Control: severity -1 normal
This bug just bit me in testing (stretch). I'm raising the severity to
normal based on the following rationale:
The different versions of tcl are intended to be co-installable, and
in fact at least the last two stable releases (I didn't look back
farther) have had at least two versions of tcl.
The current tcl-tls package breaks software that uses it if any of the
following are true:
The user has only installed a version of tcl that does not work with
the installed version (in stable there is only one version) of
tcl-tls.
The dependent software explicitly uses a version of tcl that does
not work with the installed version of tcl-tls (this appears to be
the case for coccinella).
The user chooses (by way of the symlink /usr/bin/tclsh) a version of
tcl that does not work with the installed version of tcl-tls.
Any of these conditions can reasonably happen in either stable or
testing.
I would like to thank Petter Reinholdtsen and Mike Gabriel for the
excellent bug report (#698485) and subsequent investigation that made it
easy for me to diagnose my problem and find a work-around (downgrade
tcl-tls to the one in stable).
Thanks...Marvin
