[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#698698: volview does not start because of a missing symbol

[Johannes Zarl]

Subject: volview does not start because of a missing symbol
Package: volview
Version: 3.4-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Starting a freshhly installed volview fails because of a missing symbol:

$ /usr/bin/volview
/usr/lib/VolView/VolView: symbol lookup error: 
/usr/lib/libKWWidgets.so.1.0.1009: undefined symbol: Vtkimagingtcl_Init
$ ldd /usr/bin/volview
    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff6abff000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe4f54ed000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe4f589d000)
    
Looking on another system with a self-compiled version of volview, the 
symbol Vtkimagingtcl_Init seems to be defined in libvtkImagingTCL.so.

Looking into the version of this library that comes with tcl-vtk, it 
seems that even though the debug information has been stripped, the
symbol seems to be defined (partly guessing on the last part):

$ nm /usr/lib/libvtkImagingTCL.so.5.8.0
nm: /usr/lib/libvtkImagingTCL.so.5.8.0: no symbols
$ strings /usr/lib/libvtkImagingTCL.so.5.8.0 | grep Vtkimagingtcl_Init
Vtkimagingtcl_Init

I'm not sure if this is the fault of volview or if the problem lies with 
libkwwidgets1.0.1009, so feel free to reassign the bug if appropriate.
