The expect URL above does not resolve to a file and is not suitable for 
scripting.  It resolves to a web page.  The following worked for me 
using wget:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/expect/files/Expect/5.44.1.15/expect-5.44.1.15.tar.bz2/download

Note that the &sourceforge-repo; entity is not right for this package 
and there needs to be /projects/ in the path as well as the trailing 
/download

Sourceforge's download mechanism is terrible.
