   An update that has three recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   This update for expect fixes the following issues:

   - Fixed an issue when expect in permanently open connection causes hanging
     for scripts. (bsc#1183904)
   - pass explicit -pie flag to CFLAGS and hack `make` invocation so that
     /usr/bin/expect actually becomes a PIE binary. This is especially awkard
     since the expect build system implicitly passes -fPIC which breaks our
     gcc-PIE package, but does not pass -pie while linking the executable.
     Shared libraries are also not linked with -shared so we need to
     explicitly pass this, too, to avoid build breakage. (bsc#1184122)
   - Add an unversioned symlink to make linking easier for applications that
     use libexpect without Tcl. (bsc#1172681)
