It should.
R-widgetTools makes R able to build tcltk widgets (tell me if i'm wrong).
Also, the scriptlets action need index.txt which owned by R.
However, tcl and tk packages no need to be added as Requires, they are already
require by R package.

= additional comment =

Installing R-WidgetTools under x86_64 arch make the scriptlets fails to work.
Cause %{_libdir} is defined as /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64 due to noarch
package set for R-widgetTools.

Remove docs files don't affect the use of R and R-widgetTools.
It's just that if you invoke an htlm doc from R prompt, it will fails to find
it/them (from htlm browser or online-help).
So, i think that we can think about slip them into a -doc subpackage.

* move them to %doc will make them out to work.
But, if you really want them here, you will have to change all path which are in
CONTENT file to point them to %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/html instead of
../../../library/widgetTools/html 

As you can see, it go back 3 level down and then move to widgetTools/htlm.
