--- Begin Message ---Package: tcl-itcl4-dev Version: 4.2.3-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream patch With the versions of tcl-itcl4-dev (4.2.3-1) and tcl8.7-dev (8.7.0~a5+dfsg-3) currently in experimental, this simple example does not work: $ echo "#include <itcl/itcl.h>" > test.c $ gcc -c test.c -I/usr/include/tcl In file included from test.c:1: /usr/include/itcl/itcl.h:144:5: error: unknown type name 'Tcl_Size' 144 | Tcl_Size len; /* number of values on stack */ | ^~~~~~~~ /usr/include/itcl/itcl.h:145:5: error: unknown type name 'Tcl_Size' 145 | Tcl_Size max; /* maximum size of stack */ | ^~~~~~~~ /usr/include/itcl/itcl.h:164:5: error: unknown type name 'Tcl_Size' 164 | Tcl_Size num; /* number of elements */ | ^~~~~~~~ It does work in unstable. Currently, in experimental, tcl-dev depends on tcl8.7-dev. If this packages migrate into unstable, then tcl-itcl4-dev will be broken in a serious way. Hence, I am am hereby setting the severity level to important. The patch attached to this bug report seems to fix the problem.
