 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.
