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. See
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Git/Develop
Thanks for your help,
Jc
