(In particular, the tclx8.4 package > does not provide /usr/bin/tcl.) /usr/bin/tcl is definitely a TclX thing, not a Tcl thing, so I agree that the check is wrong. I'd rather still check the dependencies, though, so I'm trying to figure out what the right dependency is. I would expect the virtual tclx package to be the right dependency, but as you say, tclx8.4 doesn't provide /usr/bin/tcl. Do you have any idea why? It seems like it should; TclX has always provided the tcl binary in my experience. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
