Comment (by cal@…):

 This isn't a bug – the Tcllib package that we now install into our own
 private copy of Tcl needs a Tcl interpreter to install. Unfortunately we
 cannot use our private copy of Tcl to do this, because it hasn't been
 installed at this point.

 The Tcllib configure script searches for a copy of tclsh in standard paths
 using `ls $dir/tclsh[[8-9]]*` and `ls $dir/tclsh*` and selects the first
 one that's a real file, so it's no surprise that it picks up
 `/usr/bin/tclsh8.6-64` for you. If you need a newer Tcl, please install it
 in a directory other than `/usr/bin`.
