[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#492842: aeskulap: LP bug 229681: Aeskulap images not seen

[Charles Plessy]

Package: aeskulap
Version: 0.2.2b1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi all,

I was browsing aeskulap's PTS page and found the Ubuntu bug 229681:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aeskulap/+bug/229681

Basically, the user complains that aeskulap does not display images
anymore.

I tried to use aeskulap with the following DICOM files:

- http://www.barre.nom.fr/medical/samples/files/MR-MONO2-8-16x-heart.gz
- http://www.barre.nom.fr/medical/samples/files/MR-MONO2-16-knee.gz

While I can display them with xmedcon (anther DICOM viewer we package),
with aeskulap I see only plain black. I have not used aeskulap before,
so I do not know how it should work, but I think that we have to take
the Ubuntu bug very seriously (indeed "gravely", severitywise).

Have a nice day,

-- Charles
