Package: expect
Version: 5.42.1-1.2
Severity: important
Hi,
I'm the author of ciscocmd, a short and simple expect script for CISCO,
hosted on COSI Website and I can't release my script because I use the
fork command and expect is broken under Sarge.
Under Woody, I was able to run my scripts with forking mechanism. After
dist-upgrade, the spawn command in forked process doesn't work anymore.
This problem is well known and depends from the compilation option of tcl.
The linked tcl version is compiled with enable-threads. This is
incompatible with expect forking mechanism. Debian maintainer of tcl has
been contacted but he says that a version without thread is provided for
this : tcl 8.3. To test it, I have modified the debian rules file to use
tcl 8.3 instead 8.4 and all is working now. Could you provide a version
of expect that use tcl 8.3 ?
Thanks in advance,
Alain Degreffe
