perl-tk was recently revved to a newer version in unstable to fix release critical bugs. Per my testing, the new version of perl-tk is not always a drop in replacement for the older perl-tk version that was previously available. I originally uploaded the newer perl-tk to experimental because of this. My current plan is to contact the maintainers of packages that depend on perl-tk and inform them that their package may need to be rebuilt against the newer perl-tk package. -- ---------------------------- Michael Schultheiss E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
