Are they installed?

# What do you get by instructing
sudo dpkg -l | grep tcl

Only if you want to download GRASS 7 (=development version, aka grass_trunk) 
via SVN.

You probably have to install these also!  Please check the 
<http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu#Dependencies> and try 
to install all of them.  Or try directly (you can also remove the "\" and put 
all in one line):

sudo apt-get install \
ffmpeg  ffmpeg2theora  libffmpegthumbnailer-dev \
libavcodec-dev  libavformat-dev \
libxmu-dev  libswscale-dev
