Hello, I would be grateful for your consideration to backport the fix for #1050375 to stable as requested in #1089166. The issue is that libpgtcl.so is not installed in the current default tcl auto_path. The fix has been in unstable/testing for over a year. [ Reason ] The issue is caused by a change in Debian tcltk policy[1][2] which stopped searching subdirs of /usr/lib/tcltk. [ Impact/Risks ] Packages using libpgtcl, such as pfm, are currently non-functional. The userbase is small, but for those users the impact is significant and the risk is small. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] Install libpgtcl.so in /usr/lib/tcltk. Thanks Mark [1] https://tcltk-team.pages.debian.net/policy-html/tcltk-policy.html/ch-tcltk.html#s-paths [2] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianTclTk/DebianTclTkPolicyCommentary
