Actually, at the fedora project, we are moving towards to the multilib
system. Hence you are likely to see some i386 rpm installed on your
x86_64. This isn't a bug, but a feature.

However magic should be able to pick up the proper libraries for tk.
And this is a bug in the magic rpm. Sorry my fault, I don't have a 64
bit platform to test.

Can you give me the output of:

rpm -qa | grep tk

rpm -qa | grep tcl

and finally

rpm -qR magic
