Although I did not use apt or attempt to rebuild the rpm, I was
able to install the rpm by first installing the versions of tcl
and tk that came with Fedora Core 1, thus replacing the Core 2
versions with older versions.  Today I just updated to the final
version of Core 2 and let the installer update tk and tcl.  I am
still able to run R (although I haven't tried anything that
depends on tcl or tk, such Rcmdr).  I think there is a single
file that matters to the RPM.
