Severity: normal

Control: affects -1 + src:tclx8.4

Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package tclx8.4
[ Reason ]
The new version prevents loading the package into Tcl 9.0 shell,
which caused segfaults (Tclx is not ported to Tcl 9 yet). See [1]
for detail.
[ Impact ]
If a software (e.g. Tkabber) is run using Tcl/Tk 9.0 and tries
to load Tclx (it can be optional, so it's no big deal if it can't
be loaded) then a segfault occurs which is not acceptable.
[ Tests ]
I've tested the change manually.
[ Risks ]
The change only deals with the guard which makes Tcl 9.0
to think that the package is not present in the system.
There's no any impact on the packages which use Tcl/Tk 8.6.
[ Checklist ]
[+] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[+] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[+] attach debdiff against the package in testing
