That's an X server bug, and just today I found it.  The bug

Problem with gitk

[Nicolas Ratier]

Hello,

I have this error with gitk :

$ gitk

and inside the window of gitk :

Erreur à l'exécution de git log :

wrong # args: should be

"safe_open_command_redirect cmd redir"


+ My git is clean (I tried git status, qgit etc ...)

+ I reinstall gitk without success

+ google don't have any information about the problem

+ and chatgpt doesn't give useful help ...

Thanks for help, I don't know what to do...

Nicolas

You are suffering from an incorrect backport of the recent security
fixes to a Git version before 2.43.7. Tell your maintainer to look into
this. I can help if necessary.

For example, see here:

Whew.

I first misread the above report and response and was afraid that we
started from an in-between version and botched our backport down to
older maintenance tracks, but after double checking that what we
shipped (Git 2.43.7 and upwards) recently does not have this issue,
I realized that there are distro packagers that backport even further
into the past, where some mistakes happened.

Thanks for a quick response.
