Bug#612264: tk-tile and tk colliding dir
theres a new release of tk tile package source: and release notes said: Tile 0.8.4.0 is a checkpoint release, matching what is included in Tk 8.5.9 (including all bugs). It will most likely also match what is eventually to be available in Tk 8.6.0. must be analize and revise. could be this bug fixed in newer version Lenz McKAY Gerardo (PICCORO) http://qgqlochekone.blogspot.com

To recap, tk-tile is installing headers to /usr/include/tcl, which is a symlink that changes over time, where no one expects to find them. Bumping severity, since that is just insane and the fix is easy (hence the lack of it is embarrassing :)). Please feel free to lower it again if you disagree, though. If you'd like a minimal patch, just ask. Though I suspect a better fix might be to remove this package.

Ping again. To recap, tk-tile is installing headers to /usr/include/tcl, which is a symlink that changes over time, where no one expects to find them. I suspect this bug is evidence that no one is actually using tk-tile. :/ I stumbled on this because it was originally filed as a bug in tcl-dev. While I'm fond of the little improvements my patch makes, another possible solution would be to remove tk-tile from sid.

Upstream installs the headers to ${DESTDIR}/usr/include. I think the
/usr/include/tcl was just a typo, but there are no rbuilddeps in the
archive to test with.
Here's a far-from-minimal patch that took care of the fix for me.

Ping. If this looks generally good and life is just too busy to deal
with it right away, that's fine, but if there are improvements needed,
it would be nice to learn so early while the details are still in my
memory.

reassign 612264 tk-tile 0.8.2-2.1 severity 612264 important quit Francesco P. Lovergine wrote: Uhm, one would not expect tk-tile or any other non-core tcl package has to manage /usr/include/tcl. Instead it is expected the default tcltk package is able to cope with transitioning without glitches. Therefore reassigning (to the same people, of course :)). I tried to install/remove/reinstall in various order tk-tile and tk-dev without problems Yes, it's a little puzzling, since dpkg generally treats directories and symlinks to directories similarly, and packages are allowed to share them. I would guess that /usr/include/tcl had ended up pointing to a non-directory somehow, but each time I play the scenario out in my head that can't happen (as long as tk-tile is still installed, dpkg doesn't remove the /usr/include/tcl symlink).

severity 612264 normal thanks I'm reducing the severity of this bug because I tried to install/remove/reinstall in various order tk-tile and tk-dev without problems. So the issue could be due to some odd setup on the original box. While investigating the problem there, it is better changing the severity, indeed.
