Bug Description
After installing python-vtk6, trying to import vtk in python resulting in the following error:
>>> import vtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/
from vtkCommonCore import *
File "/usr/lib/
from vtkCommonCorePython import *
ImportError: No module named vtkCommonCorePython
file command on vtkCommanCorePy
file /usr/lib/
/usr/lib/
Similar so files from libvtk6 package do exist with different names such as libvtkCommonCor
The .so symbol links in the vtk directory probably all have the wrong names.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
