[Bug 996643] [NEW] cannot load sqlite3-tcl

[Ole Streicher]

Public bug reported:

When I try to load sqlite3 or sqlite from tcl, I get some errors:

$ tclsh8.5
%  package require sqlite
error reading package index file /usr/lib/sqlite/pkgIndex.tcl: expected version number but got "0.0."
can't find package sqlite
%  package require sqlite3
error reading package index file /usr/lib/sqlite/pkgIndex.tcl: expected version number but got "0.0."
can't find package sqlite3

There is a similar bug in Debian, http://bugs.debian.org/483993 
When I change the "0.0." in /usr/lib/sqlite/pkgIndex.tcl to "2.0", I don't get the first error line, and sqlite seems to be loaded. However, sqlite3 does not load then.

This is ubuntu 12.04, libsqlite-tcl 2.8.17-7fakesync1build1, sqlite3-tcl
3.7.9-2ubuntu1.
