  <summary>Recommended update for expect</summary>
  <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)
