A quick update:

there is only ocaml-expect 0.0.2 in OPAM, whereas the latest release is
0.0.3 that uses a correct OASIS version.
You can found the tarball as well on
http://oasis.ocamlcore.org/dev/view/ocaml-expect/latest

This one should be removed, most of the features has been merged in
extunix.

What I have released that !!!!

No setup.ml, this is a .tar.gz of the dev github repository (so you need
oasis in this case).

When oasis 0.3.0 was released, I put a big warning about that fact:
https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2012-06/msg00193.html
and
http://le-gall.net/sylvain+violaine/blog/index.php?post/2012/06/28/OASIS-0.3.0-release
EXTREMLY IMPORTANT changes (read this)
Fix bug with scanf %S@\n for ocaml 4.00. We were unfortunetaly using an
undocumented tolerance of Scanf in the previous version. You should
consider making new release using this version that fixed this.
I have also "started to implement" the derive feature in oasis-db, that
should allow you to regenerate a tarball with updating the setup.ml
directly from http://oasis.ocamlcore.org/dev/home. But it is buggy and I
don't yet have time to fix it (real life is too busy).
