Package: tk8.3
Version: 8.3.5-6
Severity: important

Hi,

While t runtime library /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so.1 is in the package tk8.3, as it should be, the softlink /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so pointing to this file is in the packagage tk8.3-dev, together with /usr/lib/libtk8.3.a. That does not make any sense, just as the run-time library belongs into the normal (not-dev) packagage, the softlink should also be created by this package.

This becomes more inconveninent, considering that tk8.3-dev conflicts with tk8.4-dev as pointed out in bug #312517 and so not both soft-links can be installed by packages (while it is of course trivial to create them manually).

The same behavior is seen for the packets tk8.4 tk8.4-dev (should I file separate bug-reports for those?).

Regards,
Karsten
