[Bug 1184082] [NEW] Slight misleading error message when trying to use tkinter

[Ma Xiaojun]

Public bug reported:

By default, python3-tk is not installed.

$ python3 -m tkinter
/usr/bin/python3: No module named '_tkinter', please install the python-tk package; 'tkinter' is a package and cannot be directly executed

The package to install for Python 3 is python3-tk rather than python-tk.

** Affects: python3-defaults (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
