Is this… normal ?

The first four are consequences of the fact that /bin is the same as /usr/bin and /lib is the same as /usr/lib. The links in question were actually installed in /usr/bin or /usr/lib. The package maintainers could avoid this issue by using absolute paths instead of relative ones in the symlink content, but I don't think it's likely to cause problems in practice.

The last two symlinks would get resolved if you installed tcl-devel and tcl-tk-devel. I think it's fine to leave dangling symlinks in this situation.
