Package: expectk
Version: 5.44.1.14-2
Severity: important
According to the manual of expect, there is a command-line switch that makes
expectk not run ~/.expect.rc:
The file $exp_library/expect.rc is sourced automatically if present,
unless the -N flag is used. (When
using Expectk, this option is specified as -NORC.) Immediately after
this, the file ~/.expect.rc is
sourced automatically, unless the -n flag is used. If the
environment variable DOTDIR is defined, it is
treated as a directory and .expect.rc is read from there. (When using
Expectk, this option is specified as
-norc.) This sourcing occurs only after executing any -c flags.
Running expectk with strace, I see no trace of it trying to open ~/.expect.rc.
In order to run it anyway, I have to add "source ~/.expect.rc" to all expectk
scripts.
On the other hand, "expect" (no tk) runs it without any problems.
