Public bug reported:
In debian/control, wavesurfer depends on "tk8.5 | wish". This
dependency is satisfied by any version of tk such as tk8.4.
However, wavesurfer actually can run only with tk8.5 because the program
starts wish8.5 as follows:
exec wish8.5 "$0" "$@"
so, if tk8.4 is installed, wavesurfer can be installed without tk8.5 but
it fails to start like below:
$ wavesurfer
/usr/share/tcltk/wavesurfer/app-wavesurfer/wavesurfer.tcl: 3: exec: wish8.5:
not found
$
I think "wish" should be removed from Dpepends to avoid the error.
