Before jessie we used the alternatives system to provide /usr/bin/wish, so /usr/bin/wish symlink pointed to /etc/alternatives/wish which pointed to /usr/bin/wish-default (or some other file if a local admin wanted to change the default wish interpreter). On upgrade to jessie the tk.preinst script removes all alternatives to /usr/bin/wish, so that the new tk package could install a simple symlink /usr/bin/wish->wish8.6. I can't figure out what could go wrong on an upgrade (every upgrade attempt whether with the default alternative or some unusual went fine so far). Could you tell if there were any other problems with you upgrade? By the way, the tcl package provides symlink /usr/bin/tclsh in a similar way. Do you have it? Or it's missing as well?
