Description Gustavo M. Gama 2004-08-13 13:06:49 UTC

The current wordnet ebuild depends on TCL/TK packages. However, I believe it should be optionally compiled with such support by means of the "tcltk" use flag, since WordNet is perfectly usable through its command line interface and API.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-dicts/wordnet

Actual Results:  
The TCL/TK were installed, inspite of my "-tcltk" USE flag.

Expected Results:  
Not installed TCL/TK if the USE flags specified not to.

I've modified the current ebuild using the patch below. It worked for me, though
I'm not sure it follows Gentoo guidelines.

This is more simple one. (dev-lang/tk depends on dev-lang/tcl)

Tcl/TK 8 libraries installed on your system.  Read the file
