Package: babygimp
Version: 0.42-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I heard about this in private email from a user a month or so ago.  I
realized today while fixing #395577 that this user never bothered to
file an official bug report as requested (I was out of the country at
the time I received the email).

It doesn't look like babygimp works with the current version of perl-tk
(804.027 as of this writing).

   Name "Load::VAR1" used only once: possible typo at /usr/bin/babygimp
   line 6874.
   Scanning plugins ... loading 0 plugins ... done
   Can't coerce CODE to string in entersub at /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/Widget.pm
   line 190.
    at /usr/bin/babygimp line 575
    at /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/Widget.pm line 191
           Tk::Widget::new('Tk::Radiobutton', 'Tk::Frame=HASH(0x8892a98)',
   '-text', 'Erase', '-value', 'CODE(0x84fe8ec)', '-pady', 0, '-variable',
   ...) called at /usr/lib/perl5/Tk/Widget.pm line 256
           Tk::Widget::__ANON__('Tk::Frame=HASH(0x8892a98)', '-text',
   'Erase', '-value', 'CODE(0x84fe8ec)', '-pady', 0, '-variable',
   'REF(0x84ed594)', ...) called at /usr/bin/babygimp line 575
    at /usr/bin/babygimp line 575

This sort of error occurs for most of the rest of the similar lines
around line 575 (i.e. commenting out this line doesn't make a
difference).

I've already written upstream (Christian) to see if he can fix it any
time soon.  I guess if he can't, I'll request that babygimp be removed
from Debian.
