Agh, let me start over. The default Tcl/Tk version in unstable (as set by tcltk-defaults) is 8.4, whereas the version in experimental is 8.5. Before updating the version in unstable, we would like to see what fallout that would have, by rebuilding all relevant packages against the version in experimental. Now as you noted, experimental buildds use packages from sid by default, so this requires sourceful uploads to change build-deps to explicitly request the version from experimental: Build-Depends: tcl-dev (>= 8.5), tk-dev (>= 8.5) Since tk-dev 8.5 depends on tk (= 8.5.0-1), this should pull in the tcl and tk packages from experimental, too. Previous versions of sbuild did not cope with that, so in my original message I suggested Build-Depends: tcl-dev (>= 8.5), tk-dev (>= 8.5), tcl (>= 8.5), tk (>= 8.5) even though that has been unnecessary for the last couple of months or so. So a simple binNMU would insufficient and the patch I sent would be more than sufficient. Sorry for the ramble. Hopefully this is clearer.
