I will do some tests and create a new skycat package next week, if everything is OK.

I've taken over the blt package and uploaded the new version which doesn't crash immediately under Tcl/Tk 8.6. I've tried to run skycat (rebuilt with 8.6 too) and it seems to work. So, build-depend skycat on blt-dev (>=2.5.3) and tk-dev (or tk8.6-dev), and it should be fine after that. If some other bugs related to BLT will be revealed, please, report them to the blt package.

As far as I can tell, itcl3 and itk3 work with tcl/tk8.6. Even if they currently depend on tcl8.5, if you run wish8.6 and do "package require Itcl" or "package require Itk", everything works fine (I've tried to run tests, supplied with itcl3 and itk3, and demos in iwidgets4). On the other hand, blt, which is currently built with tk8.6, doesn't work at all. The demos from blt-demo package crashed for me every time (I'm going to file a bugreport). So, I guess, we have to decide what to do with blt first. By the way, blt 2.4z-8 (conservatively built with tcl8.5) works fine (but obviously doesn't load into wish8.6).

I have no fix for that. I'll try to port itcl3 and itk3 to tcl/tk8.6, or may be package itcl4. It'll require to look into their reverse dependencies (e.g. ftools-pow and ftools-fv).

Package: skycat Version: 3.1.2+starlink1~b-6 Severity: serious blt now uses tcl/tk 8.6 while skycat is linked against 8.5 which leads to startup failures of skycat: Error in startup script: couldn't load file "/usr/lib/skycat/libskycat3.1.2.so": libBLT.2.4.so.8.5: on the ubuntu-motu mailing list (search skycat) there is a patch that fixes this issue but it will still segfault on start due to itcl3 needing tcl 8.5. I have no fix for that. A workaround would be to reintroduce a new blt linked against 8.5. This is possible as blt versions its library by the tcl name. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
