Quite a few packages require vtk6 to be rebuilt before their
dependencies can be satisfied.

Unfortunately vtk6 has a large dependency chain, which is prone to issues.

mpi4py is one of the vtk6 build dependencies that needs to be fixed
(#830440).

Another is the recent update of superlu in unstable which has made the
armadillo packages and their reverse dependencies uninstallable
(#837152). This includes gdal and by extension vtk6.

It looks like armadillo will require a transition before it will support
superlu >= 5.2.

Kind Regards,

Bas
