I never thought to have tcltk stuff directly under /usr/share :) Yes, /usr/share/tcltk looks better. And /usr/lib/tcltk would certainly be better than /usr/lib, but (as Joe English mentioned) all existing packages are installed into /usr/lib now. Removing /usr/lib from auto_path would break every package not included to Debian distribution (assuming that all Debian Tcl/Tk packages are moved to /usr/lib/tcltk). > > > I'd propose a halfway solution - to put bwidget scripts to > > /usr/share/bwidget1.0.8 and link this directory to /usr/lib.

But if we want to move Tcl-only packages to /usr/share/tcltk then we should write a Tcl/Tk policy. Otherwise for every new package we will have to file a separate bugreport to move the package. -- Sergei Golovan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
