After the upgrade to tcl/tk-8.6.0 dev-vcs/git doesn't build anymore: ... make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/git-1.8.1/work/git-1.8.1/git-gui' INDEX lib/ DEST /var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/git-1.8.1/image//usr/libexec/git-core INSTALL 755 git-gui INSTALL 755 git-gui--askpass LINK git-citool -> git-gui DEST /var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/git-1.8.1/image//usr/share/git-gui/lib INSTALL 644 tclIndex install: cannot stat ‘lib/tclIndex’: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/git-1.8.1/work/git-1.8.1/git-gui' make: *** [install] Error 2 * ERROR: dev-vcs/git-1.8.1 failed (install phase): Running "make V=1 lib/tclIndex" in /var/tmp/portage/dev-vcs/git-1.8.1/work/git-1.8.1/git-gui gives: ... application-specific initialization failed: package not known invalid command name "auto_mkindex_parser::command" Reproducible: Always
This is caused by configuring tcl with '--with-encoding=utf-8'. It seems that this creates a broken tcl install which fails to read its own (internal) configuration: --with-encoding=<val> sets TCL_CFGVAL_ENCODING=<val> This is used in tclPkgConfig.c where it is passed to Tcl_RegisterConfig() which uses that encoding to decode the values in the package configuration table. However, if the encoding is not found it completely skips reading the configuration; silently. When this configuration isn't read, tcl has no idea where its library is located which causes everything to break. I have confirmed that removing the '--with-encoding=utf-8' line from tcl-8.6.0.ebuild fixes tcl on my system.
Same problem. Confirmed suggested fix in comment 1 works for me.
Please use tcl-8.6.0-r1.
