[Bug 995445] Re: package gpsmanshp 1.2.1-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

[Doug Jones]

@Atheg:  (continuing previous comment)

I just had a look at the Tcl docs.  I learned about the info patchlevel
command.  This is what it does on my system:

me at precise:~$ tclsh
% info patchlevel
8.5.11
% exit
me at precise:~$ tclsh8.4
% info patchlevel
8.4.19
% exit
me at precise:~$ tclsh8.5
% info patchlevel
8.5.11
% exit
me at precise:~$ 


So if I ask for tclsh without specifying a specific version, it is giving me 8.5, the latest.  But AFAIK the most recent version that was installed is 8.4.  So apparently tclsh will take you to the most recent version number, not the last one installed.  I imagine this is the behavior you desire.

The gpsmanshp.postinst script will still use the 8.4 version it thinks
it needs because it explicitly calls up that version.

Hope this helps.
