No, the behavior did not change, and the above script did not hit a
false positive.
Recently the version of Tcl was upgraded from 8.4 to 8.5. This came
with a corresponding name change for the .so: libtcl8.4.so is no longer
available, but libtcl8.5.so is.
To fix, you just need to bump the release and rebuild your package. The
rebuild will find the new libtcl8.5.so and set the requirement
appropriately.
