DetailsDescription:
the chicken scheme interpreter/compiler "depends" on the tk widget toolkit even though there is no actual dependency - neither the interpreter nor the compiler nor compiled code nor the standard library, libchicken, are linked with tcl or tk and both run without issue if tcl/tk are forcibly uninstalled. while a tcl/tk "egg" (modules) is available for chicken5, it is not part of the core toolchain, and its dependencies should not be conflated with those of chicken itself, which depends only on glibc and libm. Additional info: * package version(s): 5.1.0-1. Steps to reproduce: install chicken from the community repositories |

Thanks for reporting. I made tk an optional dependency. The updated package will appear in [community] shortly.
