That theory sounds good. Except that the versions of ActiveTcl I have
come "only" with the minimal library and teacup. When I say:

 $ tclsh8.5
% package require dom::c
can't find package dom::c
$ which tclsh8.4
/vol/tclsrcsol/ActiveTcl/bin/tclsh8.4
srv29 $ tclsh8.4
% info patchlevel
8.4.17
% package require dom::c
attempt to provide package dom::c 2.6 failed: no version of package
dom::c provided

This is the second package that I've run into this with - teacup remove
reports it was successful, teacup list --at-default shows no sign of the
package, and teacup install -v --force --with-recommends reports the
item is installed so it won't install it (and it seems to me, that even
if it WAS installed, the --force seems to imply "install it anyways,
right overtop of whatever you think is there...")

My first guess would be that you removed dom::c from any teapot repo,
but the dom::c found in 'install' is the one that ships with ActiveTcl. 
  The teacup manages the local teapot, but is aware of the packages that
are included with an ActiveTcl version as well (but will not remove them
if it didn't install them).
