Package: tcl8.0
Version: 8.0p2-3
According to open(3tcl):
a Open the file for writing only. The file
must already exist, and the file is posi
tioned so that new data is appended to the
file.
The semantics of this are unclear from this documentation, but I
contend that they should be the same as those of ANSI C "a", which are
to position the file pointer at the end of the file prior to each
write.
Otherwise, programs which want this (correct) behaviour will all have
to use the POSIX-derived {... APPEND ...} syntax.
(This bug/misfeature also exists in my private debianisation of
upstream 8.1a2.)
Ian.

Version: 8.0.5-8.1+rm
The tcl8.0 package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/349276 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
