Package: tcl8.4-dev Version: 8.4.16-2 Severity: important For whatever reason (broken logic in old postinst scripts?), I didn't actually have a tcl.m4 alternative when trying to upgrade from 8.4.16-1 to 8.4.16-2, causing the new preinst script to fail:
Preparing to replace tcl8.4-dev 8.4.16-1 (using .../tcl8.4-dev_8.4.16-2_amd64.deb) ... No alternatives for tcl.m4. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tcl8.4-dev_8.4.16-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 This looks like it shouldn't be too hard to work around (by temporarily uninstalling the package, or creating a short-lived alternative by hand), but it's still a bug and a nuisance; could you please fix it?
