Package: expectk
Version: 5.44.1.14-2
Severity: important

According to the manual of expect, there is a command-line switch that makes
expectk not run ~/.expect.rc:

       The  file  $exp_library/expect.rc  is  sourced automatically if present, 
unless the -N flag is used.  (When
       using Expectk, this option is specified as -NORC.)   Immediately  after  
this,  the  file  ~/.expect.rc  is
       sourced  automatically,  unless  the -n flag is used.  If the 
environment variable DOTDIR is defined, it is
       treated as a directory and .expect.rc is read from there.  (When using 
Expectk, this option is specified as
       -norc.)  This sourcing occurs only after executing any -c flags.

Running expectk with strace, I see no trace of it trying to open ~/.expect.rc.

In order to run it anyway, I have to add "source ~/.expect.rc" to all expectk
scripts.

On the other hand, "expect" (no tk) runs it without any problems.
