Unfortunately no at this stage of the release process it is not anymore possible to allow an new upstream version. But I have already opened a new request on updading for later on on the unstable branch: http://bugs.debian.org/608188 > However, if there is absolutely no way for you to include the 1.8.8 > release, there might be a quick fix you could apply to 1.8.5 to make > it compatible with recent tcl/tk distributions: somewhere in the > beginning of wsurf.tcl, it tries to load the tile package: > > if {[catch {package require -exact tile 0.5} msg]} { > ... > > if you simply replace that line with > > if {1} { > ... > > you should be able to start WaveSurfer in no-tile-mode, even if tile > is present. Thanks! Mehedi, would you please allow such a fix to migrate to squeeze? If so I have prepared the attached patch, and have rebuilded wavesurfer. I have set urgency to high, please let me know if you would prefer to have it in another way. As the package is furthermore orphaned, but not yet adopted by Alessio, I have set maintainer to the QA Group. Bests and in particular to Jonas thanks for the recents developments again on wavesurfer. Salvatore
