On my system, tcl8.5 is installed, but tcl8.4 is not. So:
sudo apt-get install tcl8.4
This resulted in:

And, now I don't get error messages whenever I try to install packages.
So, either this is a dependency problem, or perhaps gpsmanshp.postinst just needs to be edited to refer to tclsh8.5 instead of tclsh8.4.
