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.
