Description:
After installing the package "maxima" and trying to run the graphical frontend "xmaxima" I get the error:

/usr/bin/xmaxima: line 3: exec: wish: not found

and the application does not open.

However, I figured out that there is a dependency lacking in pacman. maxima requires the package to be installed and, in my case, it was not. After installing tk, xmaxima would open with no problem.

Additional info:
-maxima 5.18.1-1
-archlinux 2009.02
-2.6.29-ARCH
-pacman 3.2.2-1
-i686


Steps to reproduce:
-do not have tk installed
-pacman -Syu
-pacman -S maxima
-xmaxima
This task depends upon
