Package: tkcon
Version: 2:2.7.11-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer,
'tkcon' is great for working interactively with TclTk (unlike e.g.
`wish` or `tclsh`).
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with TclTk-9.x, due to a versioned import
of Tk.
The fix is simple: instead of having `package require Tk 8.4`, a simple
`package require Tk` suffices and allows me to hack away with wish9.0!
the attached patch is against the upstream repository, but should be
easy enough to apply :-)
