Package: tk8.4 Version: 8.4.9-1 Severity: important hello,
i'm the maintainer of tkabber, and i got the following bugreport recently: #312258: tkabber hangs randomly this bug reports that tkabber hangs randomly when used with kernel 2.6. the problem seems to be how tk/tcl uses pthreads, pthreads themselves or new kernel 2.6 kernel threads. as you build tk8.4 with --enable-threads currently, i'dd suggest to investigate this bug or remove this build option. seems like tkabber is not the only tk application with such problems: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=14 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=229322 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=253272 please let me know your plans, whether you upload a new tk8.4 package without the --enable-threads build option soon, or whether you have any other advice for bug 312258. by the way, it's no option to use tk8.3 for tkabber, as libtk-img could not be used by tkabber this way. bye jonas -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-6-amd64 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages tk8.4 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii tcl8.4 8.4.9-1 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
