tcl-vtk fails to import vtk into wish8.5

[Jaime Villate]

 vtk cannot be used in wish8.5. I get the following error:

% package require vtk
couldn't load file "/usr/lib/vtk-5.6/libvtkRenderingTCL.so": /usr/lib/vtk-5.6/libvtkRenderingTCL.so: undefined symbol: _Z23vtkTclVoidFuncArgDeletePv
attempt to provide package vtkRenderingTCL 5.6 failed: no version of package vtkRenderingTCL provided
attempt to provide package vtkrendering 5.6 failed: no version of package vtkrendering provided
attempt to provide package vtk 5.6 failed: no version of package vtk provided

Package: tcl-vtk
Version: 5.6.1-6ubuntu3
Replaces: vtk, vtk-tcl

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same exact error here, it was working fine when I was using VTK I had built myself (same version) but when I switched to try and use the repository VTK it quit working (nothing else changed)

Same here, running Ubuntu 12.04. This bug is a year old now, is anyone going to do something about it?

This bug was fixed in the package vtk - 5.8.0-14.1ubuntu3
