Package: tcl8.4
Version: 8.4.19-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
It would be convenient if scripts could assume the tclsh command and
virtual package provide tclsh8.5 or newer as long as tcltk-defaults is
up to date, like below.
My only worry would be that some package might be using "Depends:
tcl8.4" and expecting the tclsh command to work, when they should have
been using "Depends: tcl (>= 8.4)". If some user does not have tcl
from tcltk-defaults or tcl8.[56] installed for some other reason, the
tclsh command would go away --- no good. But I don't think that's a
big risk.
The weird "8.4.19-4." versions in dpkg --compare-versions expressions
are to ensure numbers like 8.4.19-4ubuntu1 and 8.4.19-4+b1 are below
and 8.4.19-4.1 is above.
Thoughts?

Version: 8.4.20-7
Hi!
As of 8.4.20-7 tcl8.4/tk8.4 don't provide alternative for
/usr/bin/tclsh and /usr/bin/wish in unstable. They are also removed
from testing. So, I'm closing this bug.
Cheers!
