OK, this says that the tkinter package you are trying to install
requires python. Next:

This looks very much like you have an older version of tkinter already
installed. You can try using the F flag (freshen) instead of i (-Fvh).
If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the old
tkinter first (rpm -e --nodeps tkinter), then installing both new
packages on the single command line.
