Expect library is not linked to tcl

[AzaToth]

libexpect.so is not linked to tcl8.5 (is reported in the buildlog), and thus it's impossible to link to the expect library, getting errors like:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libexpect.so: undefined reference to `Tcl_ErrnoMsg'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libexpect.so: undefined reference to `Tcl_Alloc'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libexpect.so: undefined reference to `Tcl_Free'

you can work around this issue by disabling as-needed

gcc whatever.c -Wl,--no-as-needed -lexpect

The forwarded issue has been closed in the Debian bug tracker.

@jtaylor, Does this mean that it is also Invalid in Ubuntu?

Thanks.

[Julian Taylor (jtaylor)]

as this is easily solved and it is documented I don't think this is reason enough to deviate from debian.
Marking it invalid.
