Public bug reported: First of all, thanks for working on packaging VTK6 on debian/ubuntu. This is very much appreciated.
Environment: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 $ apt-cache policy python-vtk6 python-vtk6: Installed: 6.0.0-6 Candidate: 6.0.0-6 Version table: *** 6.0.0-6 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status How to reproduce: $ python -c "import vtk" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/vtk/__init__.py", line 39, in <module> from vtkCommonCore import * File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/vtk/vtkCommonCore.py", line 1, in <module> from vtkCommonCorePython import * ImportError: No module named vtkCommonCorePython Details about the problem: More specifically, if you check the content of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, you can see that the symbolic links of the form: vtk<KITNAME>Python.so -> ../../../x86_64-linux- gnu/libvtk<KITNAME>Python27D-6.0.so are broken and incorrect. * Broken because the working symbolic link would point to libvtk<KITNAME>Python27D-6.0.so.6.0 * incorrect because it should instead link to vtk<KITNAME>Python.so that is nowhere to be found. Let me know how we should proceed, if it applies we could also submit a patch on VTK gerrit to get the problem fixed upstream.
