I _am_ seeing this problem, but it's definitely an issue with Tk. I'd be thankful if you could post the fixes... > The only thing I did not "fix" is git-cvsimport not running because of a > lacking File/Temp.pm.

Even fink knows this, and if you do apt-cache show system-perl it'll tell you that it includes File::Temp. Any platform-specific changes should be limited to backwards compat, really. MacOSX is converging quickly towards GNU/Linux compatibility in the build environment. cheers, martin
