Package Require getting "wrong version"

Depending on what order package requires are done, I'm getting different versions of the http package (1.0 vs 2.5.3 -- I want 2.5.3). This is in a FreeBSD system with the ports build of Tcl 8.5. See below:


$ tclsh8.5
% set auto_path
/usr/local/lib/tcl8.5 /usr/local/lib
% package require Tcl 8.5
8.5.1
% package require http
2.5.3
% exit
$ tclsh8.5
% package require Tcl 8.5
8.5.1
% package require WS::Utils
1.1.0
% package require http
1.0
% exit
$ tclsh8.5
% package require foo
can't find package foo
% package require WS::Utils
1.1.0
% package require http
2.5.3
% exit
$ tclsh8.5
% package require WS::Utils
1.1.0
% package require http
1.0
% exit
$ ls /usr/local/lib/*/pkgIndex.tcl
/usr/local/lib/Tktable2.9/pkgIndex.tcl /usr/local/lib/tdom0.8.2/pkgIndex.tcl /usr/local/lib/tk8.5-threads/pkgIndex.tcl
/usr/local/lib/expect5.43/pkgIndex.tcl /usr/local/lib/thread2.6.5/pkgIndex.tcl /usr/local/lib/tk8.5/pkgIndex.tcl
/usr/local/lib/tcllib/pkgIndex.tcl /usr/local/lib/tk8.4/pkgIndex.tcl /usr/local/lib/tls/pkgIndex.tcl



Anyone have any ideas on what is wrong and what to do so I consistently get 2.5.3.

(Note this does not happen on my OS X box using ActiveState's 8.5 distro).
