The packages system is constantly changing and sometimes elements get out 
of sync with each other.  When the CDROM was created a snapshot of the 
package system was taken of what existed at that point in time - April 
13th for your CD as I recall.  While the CD can give you a big hand in 
getting things up and running initially, or serve as a good backup, it's 
always a good idea to check for the latest stuff on ftp.netbsd.org or one 
of it's mirrors.  The latest version I see out there is tcl-8.0p2.

Maybe you're ready for a copy of the new 1.3.2 CDROM I'm putting together?
