SDX vfs 1.2 vs 1.3 with 8.5.0 Tclkit

Status: feedback Severity: failure Category: Tclkit Created: 2008-02-29 Updated: 2008-03-11

If I invoke tclkit-darwin-univ-aqua 8.5.0 in the same directory as sdx.kit and issue the following commands at the interactive prompt

   % source sdx.kit
   % package require sdx
   % sdx::sdx fetch

I see this error message:

  attempt to provide package vfs 1.2 failed: package vfs 1.3 provided instead

rather than the prompt and error message seen as expected with tclkit-darwin-univ-aqua 8.4.17, which is:

  Usage: fetch url file ?chunksize?
  sdx slave interpreter exited abnormally:
  1

I am uncertain how or whether to apply the "package ifneeded..." workaround given at http://wiki.tcl.tk/Tclkit.

(I've reposted this from F464 because it's unclear to me whether the revision 1097 bug from F232 also resolves this, and I can't find a link to download the current SDX!)

Thanks. I've got SDX 37255-36179 now.

Unfortunately I still encounter the vfs version error when I attempt to issue any "sdx::sdx" commands such as fetch, wrap, or unwrap to SDX sourced with tclkit-darwin-univ-aqua 8.5.0.

In contrast,

  $ tclkit sdx.kit fetch

works as expected (where tclkit and sdx are the current versions named above).
