Thanks for the report but you're slightly wrong in the diagnostic :)
sqlite3-tcl is built against tcl-8.5. The real problem is that
sqlite3-tcl requires a tcl interpreter with threads support. Tcl 8.5
threads support is disabled by default (upstream's decision, not
ours).
I made this patch for you but we can't commit it because this type of
change could to break old tcl packages.
