Bug#1027965: Fix for the RC bug in vtk

[Anton Gladky]

Adding ciruclar dependencies is what we do want to avoid.
It looks like gdcm has already explicit dep on vtk9-qt-dev, thus
closing the ticket.

Hi Steven,

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

Hello,

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.

Anton: I'm writing to ask your opinion about the commits in salsa since the 
last upload (June 2022); specifically, do you feel they are suitable for 
inclusion now?   

Should I:

1. apply the patch to the lastest in salsa?
2. apply the patch to the last upload sources ignoring salsa?
3. leave it alone and let you deal with it?
4. something else?

Appreciate your insight.
-Steve
