Package: tcl8.4
Version: 8.4.9-1
Severity: important
The forking mechanism is broken in all tcl version compiled with threads.
This is well known for a long time. Upstream Maintainer should fix that but in
the meantime the most secure way is to use Tcl without threads.
Package like expect depend of that and will be unable to use fork command. this
is a serious limitation. After the dist-upgrade all my scripts are now broken.
