Package: libdb4.3-tcl Version: 4.3.27-2 Severity: important When I installed libdb4.3-tcl, I started tclsh and tried the command
package require Db_tcl This command didn't work. It said "can't find package Db_tcl". I found out there is no index file pkgIndex.tcl on the auto_path. I had to dig documentation which is quite far from Debian rules about file system because everywhere is talking about /usr/local/..., which is empty on Debian. I compared other packages, that work perfectly, for example tix8.1 or tktable2.9. Tix has pkgIndex.tcl on /usr/share/tix8.1 and then symbolic link from /usr/lib. Tktable has subdirectory Tktable2.9 in /usr/lib and pkgIndex.tcl in that subdirectory. I think this second possibility would be just fine for db-tcl. I propose you simply add the directory /usr/lib/Db4.3-tcl with the file pkgIndex.tcl to the Debian distribution of the package libdb4.3-tcl. This would make instalation of db-tcl much easier and it seems in accordance with Debian architecture. My mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've already prepared the patch, but I don't know how to include it into this bug report. Cheers!
