Bugzilla Bug 232550

My laptop was on repair service at HP, when I got it back after some weeks I
updated my system again and enountered this issue:

when I try to start amsn I get the following error message, I already tried to
rebuild dev-lang/tcl dev-lang/tk dev-tcltk/tclx and amsn, but I still get this
issue, also revdep-rebuild says my system is consistent.

here's the error:
$ amsn
Application initialization failed: Can't find a usable tk.tcl in the following
directories:

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.

I am using ~amd64 on intention, I know it is unstable and there can be issues,
but hopefully this will help you guys to fix issues faster :)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use the above mentioned versions
2. start amsn from a console to get the error message
