Bug#1089599: bookworm-pu: package pgtcl/1:3.0.0-1+deb12u1

[Mark Hindley]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: ***@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: ***@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:pgtcl

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
