29 Looking at the ebuild for tls-1.4.1 I see that it lists tcl *and* tk as a
30 dependency (why?) and there doesn't appear to be a USE flag to switch off
31 the tk dependency.
32
33 You may want to try re-emerging with the nodeps flag or (maybe a better
34 way) copy an create a local version in /usr/local/portage and remove the
35 tk dependency in the ebuild.
