[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#901312: elastix does not start: symbol lookup error: elastix: undefined symbol: _ZN8vnl_math5hypotEd

[Dietrich, Olaf Prof. Dr.rer.nat.]

Package: elastix
Version: 4.8-10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Apparently, elastix cannot be run anymore:

  ~$ elastix
  elastix: symbol lookup error: elastix: undefined symbol: _ZN8vnl_math5hypotEd

There appears to be a problem with "vnl_math:hypot(double, double)".
vnl_math seems to be part of ITK-4.10 (libinsighttoolkit4).


   * What led up to the situation?

     installing and trying to run elastix

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     tried to re-install elastix and insighttoolkit-4.10
     (did not help, error still there)
