Source: expect-tcl8.3 Version: 5.43.0-6 Severity: important Hi!
expect-tck8.3 depends on really old tcl8.3 and tk8.3 which are planned to be removed before squeeze release. So, I'd really like if expect-tcl8.3 was removed from Debian. Do I understand correctly that the only reason expect-tcl8.3 exists is that expect fails to run some tests in GCC testing suite on hppa architecture because of incompatibility with thread-enabled Tcl? If it's correct then I'd suggest the following: 1) The default Tcl/Tk is becoming 8.5 (in 3 or 4 weeks) 2) The obsolete Tcl/Tk 8.4 is rebuilding without threads 3) You turn expect-tcl8.3 into expect-tcl8.4 and rebuild all packages which build-depend on expect-tcl8.3 (I'm planning to move the expect package to Tcl 8.5, so it'll likely to have the same problems on hppa) 4) expect-tcl8.3 is removed.
