Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 428624
tkinter has broken dependencies
Last modified: 2008-01-17 11:00:40 EST
Description of problem: After rebuild tcl, tk and tix were changed paths according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Tcl . Tix is now installed installed into /usr/lib/tcl8.5/libTix.so Expected results: Fix paths for tkinter.
*** Bug 428789 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This causes this broken deps report: Broken deps for i386 ---------------------------------------------------------- tkinter - 2.5.1-20.fc9.i386 requires libTix8.4.so (from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide-20080116/logs/depcheck) it also prevents scribus and some other packages from being installed (see duplicate bug #428789). What seems to have happened is that tix was rebuilt against new Tcl 8.5, but now the newly rebuilt tix is not versioned, see: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=353750 note: Provides libTix.so in the earlier version of tix there is a version: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=183287 Provides libTix8.4.so Not sure which needs to be fixed, but either way python probably needs a rebuild.
From guide lines: Tcl and Tk applications must use a non-versioned interpreter name in shebang line. The whole guidelines could be found here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Tcl
Bumping up priority, this is causing rebuild failures in other rawhide packages, e.g: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=31776
Tom already tried on the 14th: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=345681&name=build.log ...which gives: gcc -pthread -shared Modules/_tkinter.o Modules/tkappinit.o -ltix -ltk -ltcl -lX11 -o Modules/_tkinter.so gcc -pthread -shared Modules/_cursesmodule.o -lncursesw -o Modules/_cursesmodule.so gcc -pthread -shared Modules/_curses_panel.o -lpanel -lncursesw -o Modules/_curses_panel.so /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltix collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [Modules/_tkinter.so] Error 1 ...this seems to still be the case now, even though repoquery on rawhide says /usr/lib64/libtix.so is there. I don't have time to look at this closer until Monday.

Can you possibly ask somebody else to help with this (who has commit rights to the package)? This currently blocks building of several other packages such as system-config-printer (and probably more), as well as installing packages such as scribus, so it really should be looked at very soon.
Well my guess was that it wasn't a python problem, so I don't think you'll need to change anything in python ... just rebuild it once whatever is fixed, and I'll happily do that. From IRC: <dgilmore> blarney: looking at it yeah libTix.so is a symlink to libTix.so ...which would explain the problem.
And Jesse fixed it. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=354903
