title: How to install Tkinter on debian sid?
body: <p>I need to install tkinter on debian. After some research<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2640880/installation-of-tkinter">[1]</a><a href="http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/How_to_install_Tkinter" rel="nofollow noreferrer">[2]</a>, I noticed that Tkinter should be automatically installed with Python. However, when I try to import the module, I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import tkinter
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: No module named tkinter
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to import Tkinter, the error changes:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import Tkinter
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 42, in &lt;module&gt;
      raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'
  ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I try to install the python-tk package via apt-get. Another error comes out:</p>
  
  <pre><code>E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tk8.5/tk8.5_8.5.14-2_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 64.50.233.100 80]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm on debian sid, amd64.</p>
