Package: libvtk4-dev
Version: 4.4.2-6
Severity: important
The vtk library need to move to the new C++ ABI. Patches to do this
is available from Ubuntu,
<URL:http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/patches/vtk/>. I've tested the
patches, and the package build in sid.
You might want to adjust the ftgl-dev dependency to a package in
debian. These are the changelog entries from ubuntu:
* Rebuilt for Python 2.4.
* Update {build-,}depends for xorg -> mesa GL/GLU transition.
* Change (build-)dependencies xlibmesa-glu* to libglu*-xorg.
* Fix libvtk-dev dependencies.
* CXX transition: Rename libvtk4 to libvtk4c2.
* Tighten build dependency on ftgl-dev (>= 2.1.2-1ubuntu1).
* debian/python-vtk.{postinst,prerm}: Remove, use dh_python.
* Work around xorg reorganization, add -I/usr/X11R6/include to the path.
I'm setting the severity to important as this bug will block several
packages from entering testing when the other packages in the vtk
dependency cluster is moved to the new C++ ABI. I expect this to
happen soon.
