This proc is defined in tcl's package.tcl library file.

It is a routine called when a package require statement fails.

NB a recent (2006-2007) bug for users of [OpenCascade] on Windows (which uses Tcl to drive its test harness and other uses) is that if you have 8.4.14 installed and OpenCascade 6.1 then the command:

  package require BWidgets

replies:
  tclPkgUnknown name version ?exact?

This can be cured by renaming the directory C:\OpenCASCADE6.1.0\3rdparty\win32\tcltk to C:\OpenCASCADE6.1.0\3rdparty\win32\tcltkz (or any other name that is not in the path command).

Suggests that there are 2 versions of tclPkgUnknown in the sytem with different calling convetntions.
