Can you give us representative examples of the error messages ?

Re the core dump it seems to not like one of the packages. It would
interesting to know which package causes this.

General query. What is your setup looking like ?

IIRC you have both ActiveTcl 8.4 and 8.5 installed, in different
directories, and both also looking to a shared teapot repository for
additional packages.

If that is the case then it is possible for AT 8.5 to see some packages,
i.e. its own and those in the teapot, but it may not know about needed
dependent packages if they are in the 8.4 installation and not in the local
teapot.
