[Python-apps-team] Bug#519783: mayavi2: Version mismatch of vtvk with tvk

[Seiji Kumagai]

Package: mayavi2
Version: 3.1.0-1
Severity: important

Mayavi2 gave the following warning at start-up:

********************************************************************************
WARNING: Imported VTK version (5.2) does not match the one used
         to build the TVTK classes (5.0). This may cause problems.
         Please rebuild TVTK.
********************************************************************************

Indeed, the version mismatch causes problems. For example, when I
followed an example/tutorial (Parametric surfaces: a simple
introduction to visualization) at
http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/example_parametric_surface.html,
no output was made in TVTK Scene with a lot of errors at the second step.

Please rebuild mayavi2 with the current version of python-vtk (5.2.1).
