Currently, tcltls conflicts with openssl because it tries to generate
DH pair on the fly,
which sometimes fails due to lack of entropy on buildds. Though it
looks like the
newest tcltls allows one to supply option --enable-deterministic and
get the same result.

I'll fix this bug after the bullseye's release. Thank you for pointing it out.

Cheers!
