Severity: important
Compiling recent Ginkgo CADx against VTK on Debian testing yields two cmake
warnings which
suggest there are corresponding errors in the packaging of VTK.

A library libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.so was provided by package libvtk6-dev
in jessie
(VTK 6.1) but no longer exists as of stretch (VTK 6.2). The library does still
exist in more
recent versions of VTK as can be seen with VTK 7.0.0 on Arch Linux, 6.3 on Arch
Linux or
openSUSE Leap 42.1 and 6.2 on Fedora 23. In all these distributions the naming
is the
typical libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets*-*.so that VTK upstream is
using to name
the third-party libraries imported into the VTK source tree, though.

A binary /usr/bin/vtk is provided by package tcl-vtk in jessie but is no longer
available in
stretch. Package vtk6 in both stretch and jessie is providing a binary
/usr/bin/vtk6 only.
All findings are the same when the VTK binary packages of testing are replaced
with their
counterparts from sid plus their additional new or changed dependencies.
The reason to assume it's a packaging issue in Debian is the fact that the
warning messages
can not be seen when the same Ginkgo CADx checkout gets compiled against the
same VTK version
on Arch Linux where packaging does not involve any tweaking of VTK's paths.
On a side note I'm wondering whether it's on purpose that packages
libvtk6.3[-qt] as well as
libvtk6.2[-qt] are stated as belonging to source package vtk6 (6.3) of sid at
https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/vtk6.
