Same error here:

Error message is in the output of any update/install via synaptic
(on Xubuntu 13.04 amd64 with 3.8.0-25-generic and huge package list):

E: gpsmanshp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

Workaround:
    sudo apt-get install tcl8.4
works for me.

Could anyone comment on why such an error is not fixable in weeks but is around for
more than a year now?
Raring is full of bugs like this - well known, most discusses in forums with workarounds around -
but nothings seems to be changed in the distribution.
Will this regression be fixed in stable versions - will it be remaining in 13.10 or even 14.04 LTS?
Anything one can do to improve this situation - after bug reports seems no longer a valid help?
