[Bug 1565260] Re: Expect leaking a file descriptor

The Debian Expect maintainer tells me that this problem is present when
libtcl8.6-8.6.4 is installed, but vanishes with 8.6.5 installed.  So
this is definitely not a bug in Expect (and can be closed), and probably
doesn't need anything doing as it will be fixed in xenial.


** Changed in: expect (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Expect leaking a file descriptor

Status in expect package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This test case leaks a file descriptor:

  spawn bash
  expect {
     "\$" { send "ls -l /proc/self/fd; exit 0\n" }
  }
  interact

  It has been fixed in Fedora (*) and Debian (5.45-7), but not Ubuntu
  for some reason. Thanks.
