Bug Description

Binary package hint: erlang

The Erlang module 'gs' depends upon Tcl/Tk to operate and yet when Erlang is installed they are not included. This causes tools such as the table viewer for Mnesia to not work even after installing the package 'erlang-x11'. This appears to be Hardy specific as the issue did not come up with 7.10.

erlang-x11 recommends tk (which brings in tcl as well), this is the correct behaviour.

I didn't see the tk recommendation when I installed erlang-X11 via "apt-get install", does synaptic behave differently?
