Package: tix Version: 8.4.3-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, it looks like tix in Jessie is compiled against tk-8.5 whereas the default version is tk-8.6 which will make it completely unusable for applications written in Perl, Python or Ruby and probably break any existing Tcl/Tk app that uses Tix, unless it explicitely requests to use wish8.5 . A brief example that shows the problem: $ wish8.6 % package require Tix 8.4.3 % tixFileSelectBox .f ..f % pack .f % Speicherzugriffsfehler # (i.e. segmentation fault) $ wish8.5 % package require Tix 8.4.3 % tixFileSelectBox .f ..f % pack .f # it works!
