Added the missing link:
# ln -s libtclxpa.so.1 libtclxpa.so
After that the ds9 interface appeared.
"Open TCL Console" failed
Downloaded the sample file.
Followed the procedure as far as Open -> test.vot and sure enough nothing happened.  Exited cleanly.
Installed the update candidate and tried again.

The TCL console opens:
buffer line limit: 512 .....

Opened the sample vot file using the Analysis -> Catalog Tool, which showed NUMBER, ALPHA, DELTA.... columns of data.

Forgot to remove the library link.  Moved to another machine and installed ds9 and dependencies.  ds9 failed.  Installed the update and ds9 failed again with the same error.

So this is good to go but waiting for advice on how to proceed.  Should the update be withdrawn and resubmitted after the symbolic link problem is fixed?

As it's clearly not a regression, it can be validated, based on the assumption
that anyone currently using it will have manually created the symlink.

However Chris, please indicate if you would prefer this update to be validated
as is, with a new bug report opened for the missing symlink, or hold the update
until a new release with the symlink fixed.

Well, considering it's not a critical security issue, I suggest to fix it properly...

It should be properly fixed, the problem with xpa is another bug waiting validation. Either install xpa-devel to test ds9, or try the xpa in updates_testing to test both:

Thanks!

This can now be passed on, in the light of the successful test of the https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29245 update.
