.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk' in rocker/rstudio #254

Hello!

When running (on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS) with "rocker/rstudio@sha256:6587343e957c4f215be7226412c4cb92d5ea31d2048bbd592b7d5cfa32f13eab"

docker run --rm -it rocker/rstudio Rscript -e 'library("tcltk")'

I get

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tcltk’:
 .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
  call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
  error: unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so':
  libtcl8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is this intended?

Thank you!

yup, packages which bind additional libraries will need those libraries installed. If you'd like more packages to work out of the box, you can try a more 'batteries included' image like rocker/geospatial (which also has RStudio installed). rocker/rstudio is a relatively more minimal configuration

As an aside that doesn't quite "match" here because of the 'at point in time' philosophy of the versioned stack, "normal" deployment on Debian or Ubuntu using r-cran-tcltk would of course bring the libraries in. So this really is a "feature" of the versioned stack.
