| Wow, I fixed it, but it was a weird fix. Turns out I need a symlink

Paraview has been packaged (but not yet uploaded) by pkg-scicomp. It is almost 
ready, only the manpages remain to be done. It has been tested on i386 and 
amd64 with success.

check out svn from pkg-scicomp to get the paraview debian package. 

Best regards
