ImportError: libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Description:

When trying to "import tkinter" in python 3.13.1-1 I get

Python 3.13.1 (main, Dec  4 2024, 18:05:56) [GCC 14.2.1 20240910] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import tkinter
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/tkinter/__init__.py", line 38, in <module>
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ImportError: libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is a python rebuild against tcl/tk 9.0.1 needed?

Additional info:

• package version(s): tk 9.0.1-1

Steps to reproduce:

see description

added priority3-normal severity4-low statusunconfirmed labels

assigned to @jelle, @freswa, @toolybird, and @gromit

Is testing enabled on the affected system? What version of tk package is installed on that system?

Yes, it's testing. The tk version is 9.0.1-1

Thanks for reporting. Yeah, definitely seems broken. Additionally, the tk pkg in [extra-testing] appears to have a dangling libtk.so symlnk...

Should libtk.so point to libtcl9tk9.0.so?

Ughh, GitLab won't allow me to move the issue to tk (2 letters is not enough apparently!) @gromit?

In the mean while, I'll just manually assign this to @alerque
