Package: libvtk6.1
Version: 6.1.0+dfsg2-4
Severity: minor
d/control for libvtk6.1 reads as:
1.
[...]
The library needs OpenGL to render the graphics and for Linux machines
Mesa is necessary.
[...]
Mesa is not strictly required (ATI and or nvidia opengl works just fine).
2.
[...]
The terms/copyright can be read in /usr/share/doc/vtk/README and README.html.
[...]
That's not the correct path
3.
[...]
VTK-Linux-HOWTO has information about using vtk,
[...]
Where is this file ?
4.
[...]
getting documentataion or help and instructions on building VTK.
[...]
doc-what now ?
5.
[...]
This package provides the shared libraries needed to run C++ programs
that use VTK.
[...]
I am not going to comment on this one, but yeah strictly speaking
libvtk6.1 should only provide what is need for C++ runtime (not python
and or java binding)...
6.
[...]
To compile C++ code that uses VTK you have to install libvtk5-dev.
[...]
libvtk5-dev really ?
