Re: Bug#472969: gcc-4.2: Depends on Tcl/Tk 8.3 which is subject to removal
Sergei, expect using tcl8.4 does not work well on hppa, therefore the
GCC testsuite uses expect-tcl8.3.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=378394 ,
maybe run the GCC testsuite using expect instead of expect-tcl8.3.
