[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#491629: tk8.5-dev: Package should depend on libxss-dev

[David Nusinow]

Package: tk8.5-dev
Version: 8.5.3-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

   While converting one of my packages to tk8.5 and building in a chroot I
got an FTBFS because libXss couldn't be found. This turned out to be
included indirectly via tk8.5-dev's tkConfig.sh script located in
/usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5. This is apparently a new addition with 8.5, because
I can't find this inclusion in previous versions installed here. Could you
please either add libxss-dev to the package's depends or remove the linking
to libXss if it's inappropriate? My own package doesn't use Xss at all, so
I don't know why the script exports this linker flag, and it may be
ultimately useless. Thank you!
