Bug Description

paraview starts normally and can visualize its internal sources normally, as well as vtk files I had as examples.

However, loading cgns files fails with a "vtkIdType overflow" error in vtkCGNSReader, reported in details in the attachement. It does not seem to depend on the cgns file, since I tried with my home made output files (checked by cgnscheck from package cgnstools) and with example files (StaticMixer.cgns and tut21.cgns) loaded from the cgns website (http://cgns.sourceforge.net/CGNSFiles.html), and even the cgns file constructed by the example program "write_grid_unst" copied from the cgns documentation (http://cgns.github.io/CGNS_docs_current/user/started.html#sec:unstrgrid). This file contains only a grid, and is provided as attachment.

The message suggests to recompile (paraview?) with 64bits integers, but it seems that the problem is not there because the files I read are very small. Furthermore, those files were readable with paraview5.4.1 loaded from https://www.paraview.org/download/, but this package comes with a lot of included dependancies that will supersede the system packages. I had my file manager broken from a previous installation of that in /usr/local.

Could the problem come only from an incorrect compilation of paraview in the ubuntu package (say, something incompatible with other system packages) ? or from lacking dependancies?

I am available for tests on my config, I can even recompile CGNS or Paraview from source, trying several configurations...
