Package: tk8.5
Version: 8.5.0-1
Severity: normal


While I try to run wish8.5, I got a dependency trouble to tcl 8.5.0-8.6.
Here is what I get:
wish8.5
Application initialization failed: Can't find a usable tk.tcl in the following directories: 
    /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5/tk8.5 /usr/lib/tk8.5 /usr/local/lib/tcltk/tk8.5 /usr/local/share/tcltk/tk8.5 /usr/lib/tcltk/tk8.5 /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5 /lib/tk8.5 /usr/library

/usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5/tk.tcl: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5b3, need 8.5.0-8.6
version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5b3, need 8.5.0-8.6
    while executing
"package require Tcl 8.5.0-8.6"
    (file "/usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5/tk.tcl" line 18)
    invoked from within
"source /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5/tk.tcl"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list source $file]"


This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.

Shouldn't we have a dependency of tk8.5 on proper tcl8.5 version to prevent such issue ?
In sid, tcl8.5 version is 8.5.0-2.

If I comment corresponding line in /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5/tk.tcl
#package require Tcl 8.5.0-8.6
It seems running, but I am not an expert.

Regards
