[Bug 1284646] [NEW] unversioned tk package prevents upgrade to trusty alpha

[Nick Moffitt]

Public bug reported:

I've been trying to upgrade to the trusty alpha from my saucy system,
and judging from the apt.log from the upgrade (attached) it's getting
into a resolution loop trying to sort out tk vs tk8.5 package
dependencies.

The unversioned tk dep is only dragged in because of some git tools:

    $ apt-get -s remove --purge tk
    NOTE: This is only a simulation!
        [...]
    The following packages will be REMOVED
      git-gui* gitk* stk* tk*

I'm about to actually purge that package and try the upgrade again.
