TCL/Tk herd, please patch.
Comment 4 MATSUU Takuto (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-08 06:49:35 UTC 
Added tk-4.1.1 in cvs and removed tk-4.0.2.
Comment 5 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-08 08:48:31 UTC 
B rating apparently an error, as there appears to be no stable version of this package. Closing without GLSA.
