Sid should have VTK 5.4 now. Anyway, yes Caret is broken. This is documented here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522486 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520701 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=525789 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=554061 All these bugreports are reflections of the same problem. Caret is outdated, and currently upstream refuses to update the code to be compatible with recent library versions (e.g. VTK). I tried starting a patch, but soon realized that it goes deep into the core, and I wouldn't have a clue what I would break. I'm hoping that at some point upstream agrees that it is time to move on -- let's hope.
