Bug#473050: tkdiff: Error in startup script

[Andy Spiegl]

 Does running tkdiff with a specific version of tcl/tk help - i.e. if
 you edit /usr/bin/tkdiff and change /usr/bin/wish to say
 /usr/bin/wish8.4 ?

Yes, that works!  Good workaround for now, thanks.

 I've just tried running it here under 8.5 and it started up fine using
 .tkdiff of:
 set opts(textopt) {-background white -foreground gray  -font 6x13 -wrap none}
Uhm, no, that doesn't work here.

condor:~head -5 /usr/bin/tkdiff.broken
#!/usr/bin/wish8.5

###

condor:~cat .tkdiffrc
set opts(textopt) {-background white -foreground gray  -font 6x13 -wrap none}

condor:~/usr/bin/tkdiff.broken foo bar
Error in startup script: expected integer but got bold

Thanks,
 Andy.

  # Text widget options
  -define textopt {-background white -foreground gray  -font 6x13 -wrap none}
  +define textopt {-background white -foreground gray  -font {Courier -12 
 bold} -wrap none}

Thanks, but uhm, it doesn't help here.  After patching .tkdiffrc
I still get:

Error in startup script: expected integer but got bold
(processing -font option)
invoked from within
.client.left.text tag configure inlinetag -background DodgerBlue -font 
{TkFixedFont bold}
(eval body line 1)
invoked from within
eval $widget tag configure $tag $opts($tag)

invoked from within
build-client
(procedure create-display line 40)
invoked from within
create-display
(procedure main line 57)
invoked from within
main
(file /usr/bin/tkdiff line 9519)

Thanks,
 Andy.

Bug#473050: tkdiff: Error in startup script

[Andy Spiegl]

Package: tkdiff
Version: 1:4.1.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

tkdiff doesn't start anymore.  It just throws this error:

condor:~tkdiff foo bar
Error in startup script: expected integer but got bold
(processing -font option)
invoked from within
.client.left.text tag configure inlinetag -background DodgerBlue -font 
{TkFixedFont bold}
(eval body line 1)
invoked from within
eval $widget tag configure $tag $opts($tag)
(procedure build-client line 106)
invoked from within
build-client
(procedure create-display line 40)
invoked from within
create-display
(procedure main line 57)
invoked from within
main
(file /usr/bin/tkdiff line 9519)

Deleting my .tkdiffrc doesn't change this behavior either.
