Just to be clear:

What we are talking about here is installing the generic linux
precompiled GRASS binaries from:
  http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass57/binary/linux/snapshot/


This is nothing to do with any official Debian package.


/usr/lib/libtcl.so.0
/usr/lib/libtk.so.0
do not exist in any Debian/testing package.


/usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so.1
/usr/lib/libtk8.3.so.1
are in the tcl8.3 and tk8.3 Debian packages.


Currently NVIZ doesn't work with Debian's version of tcl/tk8.4, we think
it is a threading problem.


But it is good to know that the weekly snapshot binaries will work on
Debian systems with this small tweak.
