Hi Dirk: In looking at the build dependencies for rcmdr, I see that it requires r-base-dev, which requires r-base-core, which then requires tcl8.5 on all architectures but m68k, mips, and mipsel. That's not a problem for m68k, because it requires tcl8.4 instead, but there doesn't seem to be any build dependency for any version of tcl on mips or mipsel. Perhaps that's the problem?
I hope this helps. Shane On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 6:31 AM, Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> wrote: > > Fellow Tcl/Tk maintainer, > > Could you please take a look at the thread below / in #590126 ?
