Installed lavaps. Didn't see it on any of my (GNOME) menus. Typed 'lavaps' at the command line in a gnome-terminal. Prompt went away, lavaps showed up very briefly in 'top', and nothing else happened. Tried as root, too, just in case. Prompt went away again, and I didn't even get the usual authentication whinging which I get running graphical apps as root from the commandline when su'd. I think it's just plain broke :)
I can confirm this. The package that was in beta2/beta3 runs fine on an install of 7.0, ,but fails in the Florence betas. Last few lines of `strace lavaps`. It hangs on "read(11,": fcntl64(10, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 unlink("/tmp/fileXdEVYZ") = 0 pipe([11, 12]) = 0 fcntl64(11, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 fcntl64(12, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 fork() = 29535 close(12) = 0 read(11, Tim
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
Assigning to tcltk; the problem appears to be there.
Current tcltk fails many of its internal tests. I'm going to roll it back to the last known good version until I can isolate the cause of this bug.
Rolling back to 8.3.1.
