Description Haroon Rafique 2003-04-25 10:29:52 UTC
I think expect was built against an older version of tcl. When I upgraded tcl to
8.4.2, expect broke since it was linked against tcl-8.3. The exact error was:

/usr/bin/expect: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Rebuilding expect solved the problem.

Perhaps, an opportunity to insert an einfo about all user-installed packages in
dev-tcltk/* recommending that they be rebuilt again as a consequence of tcl
going from 8.3 to 8.4.2. qpkg -I -v dev-tcltk could be used to gather that list.

Thanks in advance,

The list from "qpkg -I -v dev-tcltk" is far from completness.

I wrote revdep-rebuild, which should create complete list, it was added to gentoolkit, and recompilation ewarn message was added to tcl-8.4.2.ebuild.
