[Bug 1574213] Re: git gui and gitk broken after upgrade to 16.04

[Pawel Kraszewski]

If at all helpful - prelink is causing this error in my system:

* All worked yesterday, 
* I prelinked all the system (prelink -avRm) today morning
* gitk/git gui stopped working 
* I unprelinked all system (prelink -auv)
* gitk/git gui resumed operation.

Reinstallation of TK might have helped (didn't in my case) because it
reinstalled execs and libs with unprelinked versions.

HTH
