Package: python-tk Version: 2.4.3-2 Severity: critical Hello,
I'm not sure this is a bug in python-tk, but it raised trying to upgrade it, so submitting to python-tk. My daily upgrade failed miserably (sorry, I don't have the whole log, as I discovered it too late): ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get update [...] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade [...] Unpacking replacement libgtk2.0-0 ...
