Yes, I do. The problem is caused by MacPorts overriding Tcl's internal
try statement (that's new to 8.6 and thus didn't cause any problems
before).

Some startup file tries to load msgcat in a try statement, which doesn't
behave like the startup file expects, which thus fails with this error
message. Workaround: Don't use 8.6. Fix: Update base to be
8.6-compatible.
