Package: perl-tk
Version: 1:800.025-2
Severity: important
The new testing version of perl-tk package (804.027-6) seems to have a
flaw when I select an item in a listbox. Specifically, no item is
returned. This can even be seen with the native 'widget' tool. The
problem was never present before today's upgrade. I have subsequently
downgraded to the stable (800.025-2), and things are working crrectly
again.
