gitk fails with error "/usr/bin/gitk: line 3: exec: wish: not found"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This is on a relatively fresh install after installing the git packages
This is relatively easy to fix manually, but I assume it can and should be fixed at the package level so end users don't experience this.

Steps to fix manually:

sudo eopkg install tk
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wish8.6 /usr/bin/wish

If someone gets to this before me, tk should be added as a rundep of gitk and that symlink should be added to the package.

i've submitted 2 patches to fix this. happy to amend them if anyone can review them

Resolved by new tk. Fixed on next sync.
