I'm reporting against tk because the problem appears with the {tcl, tk} version change. fmccor@gentoo.org 2008-11-14 21:02:44 0000 Created an attachment (id=171746) Trace file (on sparc) of the Tkinter failure with the tk-8.4.19 upgrade This little traceback from python shows the problem it has using Tkinter with tk-8.4.19. This trace is from a sparc system, but results are the same on amd64. Test program is the pysol solitaire games package, and it has been completely stable for many years (although perhaps not as a Gentoo package). pysol is pure python, using tk as its took kit. fmccor@gentoo.org 2008-11-14 21:06:03 0000 Adding python people in case this is really theirs. mescalinum@gentoo.org 2008-11-15 22:37:20 0000 which version of tk exactly doesn't spots this problem? is really 8.4.18, or perhaps it is 8.4.18-r1? because since 8.4.18-r1 ebuild includes a patch that *should* have solved this problem. please also tell me your version of x11-proto/xproto. fmccor@gentoo.org 2008-11-16 00:08:16 0000 On both failing systems, xproto-7.0.13. But here we go: On the failing systems, genlop tells us: Sun Oct 26 14:09:15 2008 >>> dev-lang/tk-8.4.19 Changelog tells us: 27 Oct 2008; Federico Ferri <mescalinum@gentoo.org> +files/tk-8.4-lastevent.patch, +tk-8.4.18-r1.ebuild, tk-8.4.19.ebuild: adding patch 8.4-lastevent, fixes bug #225999 And if we rebuild tk-8.4.19 to include that patch, everything is fine. So for me, it was fixed a day after I installed the version of tk which fails. For me, this is fixed; I'll leave it to you to close in case there is something else lurking in the background. I guess this argues that when a very small change fixes something, a version bump is a good idea. fmccor@gentoo.org 2008-11-16 00:10:07 0000 Oh, there is a misprint in the ebuild for tk-8.4.19 --- you have >=x11-proto/xproto-7.0.3 but you need: >=x11-proto/xproto-7.0.13 mescalinum@gentoo.org 2008-11-16 09:01:26 0000 ok, so you installed tk-8.4.19 in the meanwhile of two commits. nice timing! ;) I rev bumped the ebuild, in order to eliminate this problem, and I corrected the typo. I'll mark this bug as a duplicate of bug #225999 just for tracking purposes. thank you *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 225999 *** 171746 2008-11-14 21:02 0000 Trace file (on sparc) of the Tkinter failure with the tk-8.4.19 upgrade tk-8.4.19.trace text/plain VHJhY2ViYWNrIChtb3N0IHJlY2VudCBjYWxsIGxhc3QpOgogIEZpbGUgIi4vcHlzb2wucHkiLCBs aW5lIDEyMSwgaW4gPG1vZHVsZT4KICAgIHN5cy5leGl0KG1haW4oc3lzLmFyZ3YpKQogIEZpbGUg Ii91c3IvZ2FtZXMvbGliL3B5c29sL21haW4ucHkiLCBsaW5lIDQyNCwgaW4gbWFpbgogICAgciA9 IHB5c29sX21haW4oYXJncykKICBGaWxlICIvdXNyL2dhbWVzL2xpYi9weXNvbC9tYWluLnB5Iiwg bGluZSAzNjcsIGluIHB5c29sX21haW4KICAgIHIgPSBweXNvbF9pbml0KGFwcCwgYXJncykKICBG aWxlICIvdXNyL2dhbWVzL2xpYi9weXNvbC9tYWluLnB5IiwgbGluZSAxMjEsIGluIHB5c29sX2lu aXQKICAgIHRvcCA9IE1meFJvb3QoY2xhc3NOYW1lPVBBQ0tBR0UpCiAgRmlsZSAiL3Vzci9nYW1l cy9saWIvcHlzb2wvdGsvdGt3cmFwLnB5IiwgbGluZSA3NSwgaW4gX19pbml0X18KICAgIGFwcGx5 KFRraW50ZXIuVGsuX19pbml0X18sIChzZWxmLCksIGt3KQogIEZpbGUgIi91c3IvbGliL3B5dGhv bjIuNS9saWItdGsvVGtpbnRlci5weSIsIGxpbmUgMTYzNiwgaW4gX19pbml0X18KICAgIHNlbGYu dGsgPSBfdGtpbnRlci5jcmVhdGUoc2NyZWVuTmFtZSwgYmFzZU5hbWUsIGNsYXNzTmFtZSwgaW50 ZXJhY3RpdmUsIHdhbnRvYmplY3RzLCB1c2VUaywgc3luYywgdXNlKQpfdGtpbnRlci5UY2xFcnJv cjogQ2FuJ3QgZmluZCBhIHVzYWJsZSB0ay50Y2wgaW4gdGhlIGZvbGxvd2luZyBkaXJlY3Rvcmll czogCiAgICAvdXNyL2xpYi90Y2w4LjQvdGs4LjQgL3Vzci9saWIvdGs4LjQgL2xpYi90azguNCAv dXNyL2xpYnJhcnkgL2xpYnJhcnkgL3RrOC40LjE5L2xpYnJhcnkKCi91c3IvbGliL3RrOC40L3Rr LnRjbDogbm8gZXZlbnQgdHlwZSBvciBidXR0b24gIyBvciBrZXlzeW0Kbm8gZXZlbnQgdHlwZSBv ciBidXR0b24gIyBvciBrZXlzeW0KICAgIHdoaWxlIGV4ZWN1dGluZwoiYmluZCBMaXN0Ym94IDxN b3VzZVdoZWVsPiB7CiAgICAgICAgJVcgeXZpZXcgc2Nyb2xsIFtleHByIHstICglRCAvIDEyMCkg KiA0fV0gdW5pdHMKICAgIH0iCiAgICBpbnZva2VkIGZyb20gd2l0aGluCiJpZiB7W3RrIHdpbmRv d2luZ3N5c3RlbV0gZXEgImNsYXNzaWMiIHx8IFt0ayB3aW5kb3dpbmdzeXN0ZW1dIGVxICJhcXVh In0gewogICAgYmluZCBMaXN0Ym94IDxNb3VzZVdoZWVsPiB7CiAgICAgICAgJVcgeXZpZXcgc2Ny b2xsIFtleHByIHstICglRCl9XSB1bmkuLi4iCiAgICAoZmlsZSAiL3Vzci9saWIvdGs4LjQvbGlz dGJveC50Y2wiIGxpbmUgMTgxKQogICAgaW52b2tlZCBmcm9tIHdpdGhpbgoic291cmNlIC91c3Iv bGliL3RrOC40L2xpc3Rib3gudGNsIgogICAgKGluIG5hbWVzcGFjZSBldmFsICI6OiIgc2NyaXB0 IGxpbmUgMSkKICAgIGludm9rZWQgZnJvbSB3aXRoaW4KIm5hbWVzcGFjZSBldmFsIDo6IFtsaXN0 IHNvdXJjZSBbZmlsZSBqb2luICQ6OnRrX2xpYnJhcnkgJGZpbGUudGNsXV0iCiAgICAocHJvY2Vk dXJlICJTb3VyY2VMaWJGaWxlIiBsaW5lIDIpCiAgICBpbnZva2VkIGZyb20gd2l0aGluCiJTb3Vy Y2VMaWJGaWxlIGxpc3Rib3giCiAgICAoaW4gbmFtZXNwYWNlIGV2YWwgIjo6dGsiIHNjcmlwdCBs aW5lIDQpCiAgICBpbnZva2VkIGZyb20gd2l0aGluCiJuYW1lc3BhY2UgZXZhbCA6OnRrIHsKCVNv dXJjZUxpYkZpbGUgYnV0dG9uCglTb3VyY2VMaWJGaWxlIGVudHJ5CglTb3VyY2VMaWJGaWxlIGxp c3Rib3gKCVNvdXJjZUxpYkZpbGUgbWVudQoJU291cmNlTGliRmlsZSBwYW5lZHdpbmRvdwoJU291 cmNlTGliRmlsZSAuLi4iCiAgICBpbnZva2VkIGZyb20gd2l0aGluCiJpZiB7JDo6dGtfbGlicmFy eSBuZSAiIn0gewogICAgaWYgeyR0Y2xfcGxhdGZvcm0ocGxhdGZvcm0pIGVxICJtYWNpbnRvc2gi fSB7Cglwcm9jIDo6dGs6OlNvdXJjZUxpYkZpbGUge2ZpbGV9IHsKCSAgICBpZiB7W2NhdGNoIHsK CQluYW1lc3BhY2UgZXZhbCA6OiAuLi4iCiAgICAoZmlsZSAiL3Vzci9saWIvdGs4LjQvdGsudGNs IiBsaW5lIDQwNykKICAgIGludm9rZWQgZnJvbSB3aXRoaW4KInNvdXJjZSAvdXNyL2xpYi90azgu NC90ay50Y2wiCiAgICAoInVwbGV2ZWwiIGJvZHkgbGluZSAxKQogICAgaW52b2tlZCBmcm9tIHdp dGhpbgoidXBsZXZlbCAjMCBbbGlzdCBzb3VyY2UgJGZpbGVdIgoKClRoaXMgcHJvYmFibHkgbWVh bnMgdGhhdCB0ayB3YXNuJ3QgaW5zdGFsbGVkIHByb3Blcmx5LgoK
