[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1076541: Bug#1076541: orthanc-wsi: autopkgtest failures (binNMU needed)

[Sébastien Jodogne]

Dear Gianfranco,

Thanks for your report. From my understanding, this issue is related
to the creation of the "dcmtk-data" package by the following changeset
in the "dcmtk" package:
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/dcmtk/-/commit/f0f9dfaa22ad85fe8d3cee302fb6ba766f703c8e

This changeset has the effect to move the file
"/usr/share/libdcmtk17/dicom.dic" you mentioned out of the "dcmtk"
package and into the "dcmtk-data" package. According to the changelog,
this modification was brought to unstable on version 3.6.8-5 of the
dcmtk package:
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/dcmtk/-/blob/master/debian/changelog

I guess the proper fix consists in adding a dependency on the
"dcmtk-data" package (with a fixed version of dcmtk) in the
"orthanc-wsi" package. I fear that the same issue will be detected on
other DCMTK-related packages. I will now try to add this dependency,
in the hope it will solve the issue.

Kind Regards,
Sébastien-
