Non-functional due to VTK version incompatibility

[peridot]

Invesalius is only capable of running against VTK <= 5, in particular because of the disappearance of SetInput: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration/Replacement_of_SetInput . But the package python-casmoothing, which invesalius needs, depends on VTK6 specifically (at least, its dependencies in the version control system specify this; I don't know whether the code would work against VTK5). Unfortunately VTK6 and VTK5, or at least their python interfaces, cannot both be installed. So there are two problems: invesalius can be installed but does not work (AttributeError: SetInput; fails to declare that it needs python-vtk < 6) and there is no combination of packages that can be installed to make it work.

This is related to #1526012 but the outcome is different on Xenial.

Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04

invesalius 3.0-2
python-casmoothing 0.2-1
python-vtk6 6.2.0+dfsg1-10build1

Hi,

I'm a developer of InVesalius. InVesalius is already running with VTK6. I've updated the InVesalius package to this new version and uploaded it to the Debian-med http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/invesalius/trunk/ . I don't know if the update from Debian-med to Ubuntu is automatic. If you have interest, I've uploaded the updated package to this link https://we.tl/v4ijgul3zh

Should be fixed since invesalius 3.0.1-1 in Zesty.
