Thanks guys! Actually, I managed to fix it by installing tcl and tk dev versions and then reinstalling python2.5.
I'm so relieved!!!

Unfortunately, I suspect that your only option will be to physically build your own Python / TKInter pair from sources, specifying the --prefix=/usr/local argument to config if you want to keep the default 2.6 version installed. The versions in the apt repositories all expect you to want the latest version or to be able to remove a newer version in deference to the older version. The odd thing is, you should be able to have multiple versions of Python installed without conflict, so it appears that the package makers didn't take that into account.
