On my system, tcl8.5 is installed, but tcl8.4 is not.  So:

   sudo apt-get install tcl8.4

This resulted in:

...which leads me to suspect that gpsmanshp is now installed.

And, now I don't get error messages whenever I try to install packages.

So, either this is a dependency problem, or perhaps gpsmanshp.postinst
just needs to be edited to refer to tclsh8.5 instead of tclsh8.4.
