[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1014849: Newer jimtcl (>= 0.81) requires fix to scripts

[NIIBE Yutaka]

Package: openocd
Version: 0.11.0-1+b1
Severity: serious

Hello,

After I upgraded to libjim0.81, OpenOCD started to emit errors like:
==================
Error executing event examine-end on target stm32f0x.cpu:
/usr/bin/../share/openocd/scripts/mem_helper.tcl:37: Error: wrong # args: should be "expr expression"
in procedure 'program' 
in procedure 'stm32f0x_default_examine_end' called at file "/usr/bin/../share/openocd/scripts/target/stm32f0x.cfg", line 93
in procedure 'mmw' called at file "/usr/bin/../share/openocd/scripts/target/stm32f0x.cfg", line 74
at file "/usr/bin/../share/openocd/scripts/mem_helper.tcl", line 37
==================

I think that this is due to the change in expr command of jimtcl.
(IIUC, OpenOCD in Debian uses shared library in system for libjim.)

We can see the changes in upstream.

I confirmed that the error above is fixed by the patch to mem_helper.tcl,
adding quotation by { }.
