Hi Davide and Bart, To help find problems that arise before making this change for real, it would be nice to have most packages depending on tcl-dev built against version 8.5 in experimental. I rebuilt xchat locally with this patch applied and the result seemed to run okay, but of course that does not mean much. Any idea where I should look for scripts to run to make sure it is not broken? While at it, I fixed two other problems I ran into: - xchat Recommends: the tcl and python (default version) packages, but the tcl.so and python.so plugins are linked against specific versions. This means that whenever the default tcl or python version changes, that dependency would be wrong. - xchat Build-Depends: the tcl-dev (default version) package but tells the configure script to look for /usr/lib/tcl8.4/tclConfig.sh. This will cause failures to build from source as soon as the default version changes. If you would like, I would be glad to file separate bugs for them. The build-depends changes (to use tcl-dev (>= 8.5) and tcl (>= 8.5)) are meant for experimental only; their only purpose is to get the fussy experimental buildds to use tcl from experimental[1][2]. Without the tcl build-dep, the result would be a failed build from unsatisfiable dependencies. Patch is against version 2.8.6-6 from sid but intended for experimental. If an NMU would be simpler, please let me know and I can try to find a sponsor. Thoughts?
