Bug#794010: vtk: Build dependency on libnetcdf-cxx-legacy-dev required for netcdf transition

[Bas Couwenberg]

Package: vtk
Version: 5.8.0-17.5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

For the upcoming netcdf transition your package needs a build dependency
on libnetcdf-cxx-legacy-dev to build successfully with the netcdf
packages in experimental.

The attached patches add the build dependency for vtk (5.8.0-17.5) and
vtk (5.10.1+dfsg-1).

Since NetCDF 4.3.3.1 the upstream developers have split the project into
language specific releases, the netcdf Debian package has likewise split
into language specific source packages:

┌─────────────────────┬───────────────────┬──────────────────────────┐
│ NetCDF project      │ Source package    │ -dev package             │
├─────────────────────┼───────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
│ NetCDF-C            │ netcdf            │ libnetcdf-dev            │
│ NetCDF C++ (cxx4)   │ netcdf-cxx        │ libnetcdf-c++4-dev       │
│ NetCDF C++ (legacy) │ netcdf-cxx-legacy │ libnetcdf-cxx-legacy-dev │
│ NetCDF-Fortran      │ netcdf-fortran    │ libnetcdff-dev           │
└─────────────────────┴───────────────────┴──────────────────────────┘

The netcdf-cxx provides the new NetCDF 4 C++ API in libnetcdf_c++4.so.1,
and netcdf-cxx-legacy the legacy NetCDF 3 C++ API in libnetcdf_c++.so.4.

For more information about the different NetCDF C++ APIs, see:

Kind Regards,

Bas
