[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#708255: Incorrect Depends:

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Package: python-casmoothing
Version: 0.1-1
Severity: important

Currently the Depends: line read as:

Depends: ... libvtk5.8

This is very bad. It should not hardcode dependencies that dpkg-shlibdeps is generating. The actual (= correct) depends can only be found from the shared lib itself. Eg:

$ readelf -d /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/_ca_smoothing.so

Please remove explicit link to vtk5.8, and let dpkg-shlibdeps do its work.
