Tk86 not loadable via package require

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hi,
I installed tcl86 and tk86 but I can't load Tk from tclsh86, eg..
[mdtest 2:27] ~ >tclsh8.6
tclsh8.6 [/local0~]package require Tk
can't find package Tk
while evaluating {package require Tk}

It turns out that this is due to a broken /usr/local/lib/tk8.6/pkgIndex.tcl

It is..
if {[catch {package present Tcl 8.6.0}]} return
package ifneeded Tk 8.6.1 [list load [file normalize [file join $dir .. libtk86.so.1]] Tk]

but the tcl86 reports as Tcl 8.6b2 hence the package present fails and Tk is never loaded.

It can be worked around by changing the 8.6.0 to 8.6b2 with the attached patch.
