There is a major problem with the gdb-20020411-1 test package, the package include tcl
8.3.2 includes files which conflict with the files installed by tcltk-20001125-1. So people
using the gdb test package will end up with a mixed set of tcl files...

That's why gdb-20020411-1 is marked "test".  If this is a problem then
you probably shouldn't be using it.

Usually conflicts of this type are mentioned in the packages test announcement email and it
is better to let people know.
