Couldn't find the package ltcl.

recently did an apt-get update/upgrade and Passwd Gorilla now loads with an error, then terminates.

Couldn't find the package ltcl.
ltcl is reguired for Passowrd Gorilla.

Hi,

This issue was raised on the debian bug tracker:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888893

The workaround, until my updated password-gorilla package gets uploaded is to modify the file /usr/share/password-gorilla/gorilla.tcl:

Change:
exec tclsh8.5 "$0" ${1+"$@"}
to
exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"}

Ah great. Thank you for that. Taken care of... for now.

And, the latest commit on the pre160 branch removes the hard 8.5 dependency, replacing it with a check for 8.5 or greater. So when I decide I've tested 1.6.0 enough and roll a final package, this specific item will no longer exist.

Hi @rich123!

I am currently working on a Debian package for the pre160 branch.

I have tested it with my own use cases and it works well. However, do you see any reasons for me to postpone the upload to Debian unstable?

[rich123]

I've been using it myself as well (actually for longer than it has been pushed to github) and have not yet encountered an issue either.

The only reason I would see to postpone (and you can decide if this is sufficient) is the lack of an operative "delete" button in the password history pane. But if it is in the "unstable" branch of Debian, then a missing bit of functionality is considered normal in that instance anyway.
