Yes, I know that. > This should not be the case in public libraries. E.g. > dpkg-shlibdepcannot automatically add the package dependencies and you > can't link with it when the linker flag ld --as-needed is used [0, 1]: The libexpect is designed to be used in two ways: 1) by linking directly to it *and to libtcl*; 2) by loading it into a running Tcl interpreter (as part of the Expect Tcl package). In both cases currently it can be linked with or loaded into both 8.5 and 8.6 interpreters. So, I wouldn't like to make a fixed link to libtcl8.5. The libexpect(3) requires the explicit include of -ltcl<whatever version you have> (after -lexpect so --as-needed works fine) to the gcc command line, so I think that unless I'm doing something really horrible I will not fix this bug (and will close this bugreport in a few days without additional info).
