Package: vtk Version: 5.6.1 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source
Looks like there is a minimum version missing in the debian/control file. I cannot build vtk 5.6.1 on my stable+backports machine. It fails with: -- Installing: /home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/debian/tmp/usr/bin/vtkpython -- Installing: /home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/debian/tmp/usr/bin/pvtkpython running cd "/home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/Build/Wrapping/Python" && /usr/bin/python setup.py install --install-layout=deb --root=/home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/debian/tmp/ 2>&1 usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help error: option --install-layout not recognized -- Installing: /home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/debian/tmp/usr/share/java/vtk.jar -- Installing: /home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/debian/tmp/usr/lib/vtk-5.6/VTKConfig.cmake -- Installing: /home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/debian/tmp/usr/lib/vtk-5.6/VTKConfigVersion.cmake make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/Build' touch install-stamp dh_testdir -a dh_testroot -a #dh_installdebconf -a dh_installdocs -a -n dh_install -a --sourcedir=/home/mathieu/Projects/CoSMo/debug-gcc/vtk-5.6.1/debian/tmp --list-missing dh_install: python-vtk missing files (usr/lib/python2.*/*-packages/*), aborting make: *** [binary-arch] Error 255 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (200, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
