Dear Maintainer,
Upon fresh installation, Scid does not run and displays the following
message when run in a terminal:
$ scid
can't set "tooltip::labelOpts": parent namespace doesn't exist
while executing
"set tooltip::labelOpts [list -highlightthickness 0 -relief solid -bd 1
-background lightyellow -fg black -font $font]"
(in namespace eval "::utils::tooltip" script line 10)
invoked from within
"namespace eval ::utils::tooltip {
global ::utils::tooltip::font
if {![info exists font]} {
set font TkDefaultFont
}
# Undocumented toolt..."
(file "/usr/share/scid/tcl/utils/tooltip.tcl" line 11)
invoked from within
"source -encoding utf-8 [file nativename [file join $::scidTclDir "$f"]]"
("foreach" body line 2)
invoked from within
"foreach f $tcl_files {
source -encoding utf-8 [file nativename [file join $::scidTclDir "$f"]]
}"
(file "/usr/games/scid" line 674)
The problem appears to come from a very small mistake in line 20 of file
/usr/share/scid/utils:

It also appears this bug was fixed in the new upstream versions.
Thanks,
