I just installed the expect package (which is supposed to contain autoexpect). When I run autoexpect, I get this error:

can't find package Expect
    while executing
"package require Expect"
    (file "/usr/bin/autoexpect" line 6)

Has anyone experienced else this problem? Were you able to get in running?

    Package expect according to this page: https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-universe-arm64/expect_5.45.4-2build1_arm64.deb.html depends on tcl-expect which provides the missing module. Maybe somehow you installed expect without its dependencies? – raj May 19 '21 at 21:21
  • ... or the dependencies were already installed, but broken perhaps? – steeldriver May 19 '21 at 22:16
  • @raj nah I had tcl-expect installed. – Ryan Powell May 20 '21 at 20:40

If you use Anaconda you can use this command:

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin autoexpect ./shell.sh

This is because of conflict between Anaconda and expect.
