Hi Steven,

* Steven Robbins <st...@sumost.ca> [2023-02-05 10:26]:
Was looking yesterday for an RC bug to fix and noticed #1027965 against VTK --
a build failure in gdcm caused by missing dependency.  The fix proposed by
Mathieu seems reasonable to me.

I assume you mean the proposal to add a libvtk9-qt-dev dependency to libvtk9-dev?

Note that libvtk9-dev already has a dependency to libvtk9-qt-dev resulting in a cyclic dependency between both. Those are known to not work well in Debian and should be avoided.

The underlying problem here is that the vtk9 cmake files are not separated between libvtk9-dev and libvtk9-qt-dev so the split seems artificial to Debian and both packages should probably be merged into one or the cmake files need rewriting.

Cheers Jochen
