[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#698698: Seems to be caused by libvtk5.8 change

[Lennart Sorensen]

Installing libvtk5.8 and tcl-vtk version 5.8.0-12 makes the symbol
problem go away and volview starts fine.  Install 5.8.0-13 or 5.8.0-13+b1,
and the problem occours again.

Not sure which of this caused a problem:

vtk (5.8.0-13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make sure to include VTK/QT cmake file. Closes: #656115
  * Revert back to libtiff4-dev and use libtiff-dev in d/control. Closes: #674998
  * Fix tkInt.h installation, using proper cmake magic. Closes: #674169
  * Make sure to discover init.tcl properly. Closes: #673245

My current suspicion is:

I am trying to recompile with that removed to see if that is the cause.
