Bug#742629: libvtk6-dev package should depend on libjsoncpp-dev

[Daniele E. Domenichelli]

Package: libvtk6-dev
Version: 6.0.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In /usr/lib/cmake/vtk-6.0/VTKTargets-none.cmake lines 991-997 you can find

 # Import target "vtkIOGeometry" for configuration "None"
 set_property(TARGET vtkIOGeometry APPEND PROPERTY IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS NONE)
 set_target_properties(vtkIOGeometry PROPERTIES
   IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_NONE "[...];jsoncpp"
   [...]
   )

Since the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_NONE property includes
jsoncpp any CMake project linking to vtkIOGeometry (or the VTK_LIBRARIES
variable that includes vtkIOGeometry) will try to link with -ljsoncpp,
therefore the libjsoncpp-dev is required.

Please consider adding it to the dependencies of the libvtk6-dev package.
