Description Wart 2008-01-14 21:25:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
Tcl 8.5 in Fedora uses a limited set of directories for searching for extensions
such as expect.  As a result, the pkgIndex.tcl file for an extension must be
installed into a subdirectory of either /usr/lib/tcl8.5 or /usr/share/tcl8.5. 
If this is not done, then 'package require Expect' will fail for Tcl scripts.

Expect currently installs into /usr/lib/expect5.43.  This should be modified to
/usr/lib/tcl8.5/expect5.43.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
expect-5.43.0-11.fc9.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install tcl and expect from Rawhide
2. run 'tclsh'
3. In the tcl interpreter, type 'package require Expect'
  
Actual results:
The command fails with "can't find package Expect"

Expected results:
The command succeeds and returns the version of the expect package '5.43.0'

Additional info:
The attached patches fix this problem.  The first patch, -pkgpath, Modifies the
Makefile and configure script with the correct install directory.  The second
patch is for the .spec file to look for the files in the correct locations.

Patch to spec file to package files in correct directory

This patch also contains a modification to the -lib-spec patch so that linking
works.
