Greetings: God bless you. When using dselect on a sparc to install t{cl,k}8.2-dev, I get
...[relevant part of messages] Setting up tcl8.2-dev (8.2.3-3) ... update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/share/aclocal/tcl.m4.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/tcl.m4: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing tcl8.2-dev (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of tk8.2-dev: tk8.2-dev depends on tcl8.2-dev; however: Package tcl8.2-dev is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing tk8.2-dev (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured ...[rest deleted as irrelevant]... I don't _know_ what tcl.m4 is supposed to be, but I think that a tcl version of m4 ought to be in the tcl8.2-dev package, so I think that the configuration script ought to be making the /etc/alt... link to the file which ought, in my opinion, be installed in the package. (But now I'm repeating myself over again...) Is there an unstated package dependency? Should I link /etc/alt.../tcl.m4 to something? Maybe just touch it to allow the package to configure? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 972-729-5387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home ph. on Q) http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan RE: xmailtool http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan/xmailtool/index.html RMS of Borg: "Resistance is futile; you shall be freed."
