[Bug 1084110] [NEW] Tclsh reports version mismatch

[Jal Frezie]

Public bug reported:

This is Ubuntu 12.10 for AMD64.
On invoking the Tcl shell I get:
$ tclsh8.5
application-specific initialization failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: 
    /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5 /usr/lib/tcl8.5 /lib/tcl8.5 /usr/library /library /tcl8.5.9/library /tcl8.5.9/library

/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5/init.tcl: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.9, need exactly 8.5.11
version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.9, need exactly 8.5.11
    while executing
"package require -exact Tcl 8.5.11"
    (file "/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5/init.tcl" line 18)
    invoked from within
"source /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5/init.tcl"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list source $tclfile]"


This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

% 
The shell is now running, but since init.tcl has not been executed, some commands are missing and I cannot load packages.
