In my testing, it isn't that there's any strange conflict caused by having Tk 8.5 merely existing on the system. Rather, the problem is more straightforwardly that transcriber works fine when run with Tcl/Tk 8.4, but fails when run with Tcl/Tk 8.5. Though transcriber explicitly depends on version 8.4, I think the problem is that the wrapper shell script just calls "/usr/bin/wish", which could point to any version depending on /etc/alternatives. So it seems to me that a more useful fix would be to change the /usr/bin/transcriber wrapper script so that it refers to /usr/bin/wish8.4 (resp. tclsh8.4) explicitly; for instance, this would work correctly if the user has a local version of wish earlier in their path. My biggest problem with the Conflicts: approach is that it prevents installing other software that uses Tcl/Tk 8.5: for instance wordnet, which would also be useful for linguists. Providing an explicit path is also in the spirit of section 3.2 of the Tcl/Tk policy: http://pkg-tcltk.alioth.debian.org/tcltk-policy.html/ch-programs.html#s-version_dep_progs (As for the actual cause of the failure under 8.5, I think it's a problem in tcLex, which I've reported separately as bug #487549) -- Stephen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
