If someone installs tcl84, they can uninstall tcl, even if they have packages that depend on the newer version from repo.

Don't do that, then.

Doesn't compile:

"clUnixThrd.o tclUnixCompat.o tclUnixNotfy.o strstr.o strtoul.o strtod.o fixstrtod.o tclLoadDl.o -ldl -lpthread -lm -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib /usr/bin/ld: fixstrtod.o: in function fixstrtod': fixstrtod.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition offixstrtod'; strtod.o:strtod.c:(.text+0x0): first defined here collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status"

Please kindly remove provides=tcl.

There is a good reason that AURweb has removed the version from such entries. As pacman does not understand versioned provides as humans do.

pacman thinks if tcl84 provides tcl=8.4.20, it also provides tcl.

If someone installs tcl84, they can uninstall tcl, even if they have packages that depend on the newer version from repo. This operation will break those consumer packages.

Any AUR package that needs tcl84 should depend on it explicitly.

After digging around, I believe this (specifically the 32-bit library) is necessary for Lattice iCEcube.

It was required for something, not sure what...

Someone is still using this specific version?
