how come the buildd machines can't find python-vtk?
 

I uploaded insighttoolkit the other day, but the buildd machines
refuse to build it, claiming an installability problem [1]:

insighttoolkit/alpha dependency installability problem:

insighttoolkit (= 3.20.0-8) build-depends on one of:
- python-vtk (= 5.4.2-8)

This is repeated for all architectures.

Two things puzzle me:

1. python-vtk is still in the archive according to the PTS
and "rmadison"

2. the above output says "(= 5.4.2-8)", but the build-dep isn't
versioned

What's going on?

Thanks,
-Steve

python-vtk is involved in the ffmpeg transition, and needs to be
rebuilt. In the mean time, it's not installable, so insighttoolkit
can't be built.

Cheers,

I *think* the problem is that python-vtk is temporarily uninstallable due to
the FFmpeg transition:
