+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [wrlinux specific]
+
+Subject: expect: install scripts without using the fixline1 tcl script
+
+On older machines like SLED11.2, we are encountering do_install failures
+complaining that 'GLIBC_2.14' is not found in /lib64/libc.so.6 but is required
+by libtcl8.6.so.0.
+
+This is because that we're executing the fixline1 tcl script which requires
+libtcl8.6.so.0 in sysroot. However, all commands in SCRIPTS already have got
+the correct first line, that is '#!/bin/sh'. We don't need to modify anything.
+That's why we could just copy them.

+SUMMARY = "tool for automating interactive applications according to a script"
+DESCRIPTION = "Expect is a tool for automating interactive applications according to a script. \
+Following the script, Expect knows what can be expected from a program and what \
+the correct response should be. Expect is also useful for testing these same \
+applications. And by adding Tk, you can also wrap interactive applications in \
+X11 GUIs. An interpreted language provides branching and high-level control \
+structures to direct the dialogue. In addition, the user can take control and \
+interact directly when desired, afterward returning control to the script. \
