** Description changed: - This issue has been reported and fixed in Debian: + [Impact] - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=819741 + * Any code that links to libraries provided by libpcl1.7 (which depends + on vtk6) fails to link because it cannot find vtkproj4 (see + https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/issues/1594 for example) - Currently any code that links to libraries provided by libpcl1.7 (which - depends on vtk6) fails to link because it cannot find vtkproj4. + * This has been fixed in Debian - An example of affected downstream code is available here: - https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/issues/1594 + * The attached debdiff is simply an SRU of the upstream Debian fix - Please sync with vtk6 version 6.2.0+dfsg1-11 so that downstream code can - link to libraries provided by vtk6. + [Test Case] + + * Build software that uses PCL (e.g. https://github.com/ros- + perception/perception_pcl) and watch it fail + + * Apply this patch, and watch it succeed + + [Where problems could occur] + + * This patch seems tiny, but given that part of it is disabling a patch that is currently applied in Xenial (102_enable_system_proj4_lib.patch) it is larger than it first appears + + * I believe the change introduced is backward compatible, but it could use a double check from a more experienced eye
