From tk2 README, at least, I see that it requires a WISH windowing
shell.  As that appears to be a part of TCL/Tk (I can read the wish(1)
man page on Bookworm), the dependency seems to be met.

The IC-R2 doesn't show in Hamlib's  rigctl model list and the README
talks about memory channels which Hamlib lacks a lot of support for.  I
see that it is a small HT style receiver, probably more of a scanner
than a VFO tuned radio.

As the dependency appears to be satisfied it should probably remain
available as there might not be any other support for it.
