Package: perl-tk
Version: 1:804.027-6
Severity: grave

A few days ago I've installed Debian testing on my computer and recognized 
that perl-tk doesn't work. Everytime you try to create a new MainWindow it 
aborts.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/estel $ perl -MTk -we 'MainWindow->new'
8245384 is not a hash at /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/MainWindow.pm line 55.
Abgebrochen (German for Aborted)

I've also tried to compile the latest available version of pTk from cpan, but 
after installation: exactly the same problem. Properly this problem is not 
directly related to perl-tk, but maybe to X11/xorg.
Don't be too rude if this is the wrong place for this bug report. :)

I've also experienced this problem on a different machine running on Debian 
testing with latest updates (14th August 2006), but there are also other 
machines running on Debian testing without that problem. That's very strange. 
<wild_guess>Maybe there is just a file missing you still have on your 
computer when your installation is a bit older.</wild_guess>

I've added the output of strace as it is maybe not reproducable on your 
computer. Maybe there is a problem with Xcms.txt, but that's just a guess.
Strace output: http://m19s28.vlinux.de/estel/debian/ptk_strace.

I'm really looking forward to a fix.

Thank you.
