[Bug 235649] Re: crash w/tclsh8.5 & tclsqlite3

[Witek Mozga]

This bug seems still valid in 12.04 beta. I`ve just installed sqlite3
bindings for Tcl and Tcl still cannot find sqlite3

Title:
  crash w/tclsh8.5 & tclsqlite3

Status in “sqlite3” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libsqlite3-tcl

  This is probably caused by linking against wrong/unsupported libraries.
  Maybe sqlite3 uses some internal Tcl API that has changed for tcl8.5.
  Maybe libtclsqlite does not work with tcl 8.5.

  Here are a couple of symptoms:

  $ tclsh8.5
  % package require sqlite3
  attempt to provide package sqlite3 3.4 failed: package sqlite3 3.4.2 provided instead

  # Although an error was thrown (requires a Tcl "catch" to avoid terminating a Tcl script)
  # it appears that the sqlite3 package loaded.  So, continuing...

  % sqlite3 db mydatabase.db
  % db eval {select * from PC} values {
  parray values
  }
  can't read "array(ubuntu)": no such element in array

  
  Doing an 'array get values' shows the correct set of key/value pairs
  Doing an 'array names values' shows the correct keys >>> with the addition of the supposed key 'ubuntu' <<<
  This is incorrect as 'ubuntu' is one of the values of the array, not a key.
  I would say that Tcl's internal array is messed up at this point.

  When I run my script with wish8.4, it works.  Using wish8.5, it crashes after the script does a "SELECT * FROM" one
  of my tables in the sqlite3 database.

  I've got both tcl/tk 8.4 & 8.5 installed, and both libsqlite-tcl packages.
  There should be no problem with multiple libsqlite-tcl packages because Tcl will load the correct libsqlite.so from
  the appropriate /usr/lib/tclsqlite directory.
  As I mentioned above, perhaps it makes a difference as to which version of the Tcl stub library is used when linking
  the sqlite tcl interface library.  Just a guess, but since it works with 8.4 but not with 8.5, I'd say that libsqlite-tcl
  is not compatible with tcl 8.5.

  Add'l info.
