This error is a bit misleading. It means that the package tkinter, which
is already installed, needs a version of libtix8 that is going to be
deleted (because it is updated by your version, which apparently is not
the right version).

There are two solutions, depending on some things. Sometimes, if none of
the files collide, you can install both versions (specify "-i" instead
of "-U"). Sometimes. Otherwise you will need to fix the tkinter package
to accept other versions of libtix8 (if that works) or install a newer
version of tkinter that does accept your newer version of libtix8.
