Source: igstk
Version: 4.4.0-6
Severity: serious
Justification: makes the package in question unusable or mostly so
Control: block 798164 with -1

Dear Maintainer,

Your package depends on vtk 5.x, which should not be in stretch.
Please switch to vtk 6.x or drop the dependency.

More specifically, your package depends on libvtk5.8 which is keeping
the old netcdf (4.1.3-7.2) packages in unstable. Since vtk (5.10.1+dfsg-2.1)
is in unstable, you should at least rebuild with that to get rid of the
dependency on libvtk5.8.

Since this package hasn't seen any activity since 2013, and is activly
hindering progress on other packages in its dependency chain, it should
be removed from the Debian archive. Keeping it around in its current
shape makes no sense.

Kind Regards,

Bas
