Odm: Package 'libvtk5-dev' has no installation candidate on bash configure

E: Package 'libvtk5-dev' has no installation candidate
ERROR: Error when Installing Dependencies Requisites

Hello all,
had to reinstall ubuntu on the vm so i had to redo the odm install for 16.10. I ran into the above error and tried to find it via synaptic package manager with no luck.
Does anyone have an idea?

It looks like no release yet. @smathermather

[Bavar2142]

Ah, that would explain it. I tried with libvtk6 with no luck either.

[smathermather]

Is this a blocking issue for 16.04 as well?

[mojodna]

No. I've been running on 16.04 with no problems.

[dakotabenjamin]

No, it is only for 16.10. Should go away soon.

@dakotabenjamin did you have an idea of when thatd be?

[dakotabenjamin]

No, we don't have any control over these dependencies. I'm assuming it won't be too long because this looks like a well-maintained package.

The package has been replaced. Reopening so that we can get this fixed

[Bavar2142]

Good to know its being looked at.

Any luck on this? I'm on 16.10 and am unable to configure ODM still on the latest Release Candidate

[dakotabenjamin]

This problem is more complicated than I thought. We have some older code that vtk6 appears to break

[dakotabenjamin]

I don't know how much legacy code still exists in some of our modules, but it looks like updating from vtk5 to vtk6 breaks all of them. PMVS and odm_meshing most notably. I do not have the c++ skills to get dirty with the code to port it over, but I will put this on our priorities list.

The best solution for now is to use Docker to containerize ODM.

[smathermather]

Should we get rid of PMVS? I realize that only solves half the problem, but at least it's a start.

Created an issue for PMVS: https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/issues/442
