Frank,

	Thanks, it looks like that was part of it. It seems that
tcl8.0jp is broken. It sets it version number to 8.0jp. The man page
for tcl's package command says:

"Version numbers consist of one or more decimal numbers separated by
dots, such as 2 or 1.162 or 3.1.13.1."

This turns up in 
	/usr/lib/tkX8.0.4/pkgIndex.tcl
	/usr/lib/tclX8.0.4/pkgIndex.tcl

with a statment like:

if {[info tclversion] < 8.0jp} return

When I installed scotty, it had this silly dependency as well. I went
as far a taking the old TL spec files for tcltk-8.0jp and made a new one
for 8.0.4 with the JP patches <RANT> why don't Japanese patches get
integrated? Arrrggg </RANT> I did the same for scotty as well.

Anyway, I'm still not sure where the "jp" makes its way into the
version number yet. Maybe someone here knows??? I'll search around a
bit more. 

Anyway, if anyone wants the spec files, I'll be glad to send them.

Regards,

	Andy
