Well, "can't find page::plugin" is a common error:

package require interp::delegate::method load rc: 0 result: 0.2 options:
-code 0
 -level 0
package require page::analysis::peg::reachable load rc: 1 result: can't
find pac
kage page::plugin options: -code 1 -level 0 -errorcode NONE -errorline 1
-errori
nfo {can't find package page::plugin
    while executing
"package require page::plugin     "
    (file
"/projects/sprs_lwv/tcl85/lib/tcllib1.9/page/analysis_peg_reachable.tc
l" line 32)
    invoked from within
"source

    ("package ifneeded page::analysis::peg::reachable 0.1" script)
    invoked from within
"package require $package"}

Then there are the "infinite loop" errors:
package require vu load rc: 0 result: 2.3 options: -code 0 -level 0
package require Ttrace load rc: 1 result: too many nested evaluations
(infinite 
loop?) options: -code 1 -level 0 -errorcode NONE -errorline 1 -errorinfo

This trace dump goes on for a VERY long time...

Here's a shorter one:
package require widget::all load rc: 1 result: too many nested

-errorinfo to

quire\ widget::dialog\ 1.2\"\n\ \ \ \ (\"package\ ifneeded\ widget::all1.2\"\ 
script)\n\ \ \ \ invoked\ from\ within\n\"package\ require\ \$package\"

Then there is
package require vfs::webdav load rc: 1 result: version conflict for
package "htt
p": have 2.5.3, need 2.6 options: -code 1 -level 0 -errorcode NONE
-errorline 1 
-errorinfo {version conflict for package "http": have 2.5.3, need 2.6
    while executing
"package require http 2.6"
    (file "/projects/sprs_lwv/tcl85/lib/vfs1.3/webdavvfs.tcl" line 5)
    invoked from within
"source /projects/sprs_lwv/tcl85/lib/vfs1.3/webdavvfs.tcl"
    ("package ifneeded vfs::webdav 0.1" script)
    invoked from within
"package require $package"}







>  Re the core dump it seems to not like one of the packages. It would
interesting to know which package causes this.
While I am not certain, there is this error msg:
Assertion failed: rc == TCL_OK, file ../src/htmltcl.c, line 2599
Which might give a clue.

additional packages.

You have correctly identified my setup. I'm uncertain about your
conjecture - as far as I am aware, the teapot repository should have
everything (and more) that was in the at 8.4 install.
