Description Ting-Wei Lan 2018-01-01 15:14:54 UTC 
Installing tk87-8.7.a1...
pkg-static: tk87-8.7.a1 conflicts with tk86-8.6.7 (installs files into the same place).  Problematic file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/tk.pc

Is it an expected behavior, or it is a bug that can be fixed?

Comment 2 Ting-Wei Lan 2018-01-03 18:20:20 UTC 
The renaming of tcl causes problem for tk:

$ pkg-config --modversion tk86
Package tcl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `tcl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'tcl', required by 'tk86', not found

I wonder whether there are other projects that will be affected by this change if it is specific to FreeBSD ports.

Comment 4 Pietro Cerutti freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-04 08:57:29 UTC 
Thanks for pointing that out. I committed a fix to both tk85 and tk86. 
The issue was there for Tcl/Tk 8.5 since forever, and nobody's ever seemed to notice, so I guess I'll handle problems with specific packages as they come up.

Thanks!
