For sure, one option is to change depency in package, but it will not
solve the problem globally. It was a solution for you, and that is ok.

The point is: in this specific case, tcl8.5 is in the system and is the
default tcl. And, i8kmon is executed by the default tcl. So, it asks for
the same tk version as tcl. And install tk8.5 is a solution to this
problem.

But if the version are updated in package (to 8.5), and there is a
system with tcl8.4 as default (or tcl8.6), the same problem will arise.

The problem here is a system with a tcl version without the tk
counterpart. This is the bug.

One possible solution is to require i8kmon to be executed directly by
the tcl/tk version of dependency.
