[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#495426: paraview: Please used packaged vtk

[Thomas Weber]

Package: paraview
Version: 3.2.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I just removed vtk and was surprsied that paraview wasn't removed by
dependencies. It seems paraview uses its own internal copy of VTK. 

Any chance of using the packaged vtk package instead?

Thanks
	Thomas
