[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#742253: "wish" not provided anymore

Package: tk8.5
Version: 8.5.14-2
Severity: normal

I believe there is a problem with how "wish" is provided. In the newer version
of tk8.5, "wish" is not provided anymore, but only by the latest tk version.

"tk" simply depends on the newer package version, but it shouldn't "break" old
releases unless there is a real reason to do so.

I cannot install "isag" (for example), which doesn't depend on any specific tk
version. 'isag' depends on tk|wish, but since 8.5 doesn't provide wish anymore,
tk is selected and tk breaks 8.5 (of course, I cannot remove 8.5 yet as many
packages depend on it).
