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.
