Bug Description

The dependencies for wish are defined as follows:

either tk8.5 or wish (provided by tk)

In Ubuntu 14.04, tk provides wish8.6 which is incompatible with this version of wavesurfer. So running "apt-get install wavesurfer" will install a broken program. At the moment the workaround is to explicitly install tk8.5 to make wavesurfer work.

The package should depend exclusively on tk8.5, that is, you should remove the optional dependency from wish/tk.
