[Bug 1573234] [NEW] unable to link: cannot find libvtkproj4

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Kyle Fazzari (kyrofa):

[Impact]

 * Any code that links to libraries provided by libpcl1.7 (which depends
on vtk6) fails to link because it cannot find vtkproj4 (see
https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/issues/1594 for example)

 * This has been fixed in Debian

 * The attached debdiff is simply an SRU of the upstream Debian fix

[Test Case]

 * Build software that uses PCL (e.g. https://github.com/ros-
perception/perception_pcl) and watch it fail

 * Apply this patch, and watch it succeed

[Where problems could occur]

 * This patch seems tiny, but given that part of it is disabling a patch that is currently applied in Xenial (102_enable_system_proj4_lib.patch) it is larger than it first appears
 
 * I believe the change introduced is backward compatible, but it could use a double check from a more experienced eye

** Affects: vtk6 (Ubuntu)

** Affects: vtk6 (Ubuntu Xenial)
     Importance: Undecided
