fetchmail-6.3.11-r1, the latest stable a month ago, did build without tcl/tk support in python. fetchmail-6.14, current latest stable does not. There's no reason whatsoever for this change, the upstream package builds even without python, only the optional fetchmailconf script will not be able to run. However, this optional script used to be no reason to deny building the command-line program itself a month ago (which was a good decision) so that should no reason today. There's no use in tcl/tk or a graphical config file editor on a headless, remotely mirrored server, only available through ssh. And I see no reason to bloat a server with tcl/tk that nobody will ever use.

Okay, now I can see, the real problem is that emerge does not tell me why I have a dependency that I used to not have... Thanks, the ebuild only got better with your change.
