Follwoing this old [mailing list thread](https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2015-January/033118.html) I have tried to create dockerfiles (DF) for the creation of docker images that compile ITK with vtk from paraview for VTKGlue that I need for a PV plugin (ShapeMI demo). The DF for PV-5.2.0 works well ([https://gitlab.com/romangrothausmann/FacetAnalyser/blob/pv-5.2.0/Dockerfile](https://gitlab.com/romangrothausmann/FacetAnalyser/blob/pv-5.2.0/Dockerfile)) but when I change to [PV-5.3.0](https://gitlab.com/romangrothausmann/FacetAnalyser/commit/58af66b03ea89fcbedaf22e56ad3508690ac19ae) or [PV-5.4.0](https://gitlab.com/romangrothausmann/FacetAnalyser/commit/52c00d139134726b7021e05732281c97b63481f4) cmake for ITK complains of not finding ParaViewQt.cmake. However I can find it at:

```auto
/opt/paraview/lib/cmake/paraview-5.3/ParaViewQt.cmake
/paraview/CMake/ParaViewQt.cmake

```

What would be the right set of `CMAKE_MODULE_PATH` and `VTK_DIR` to satisfy cmake for newer PV?

This is part of the message from cmake [GL CI](https://gitlab.com/romangrothausmann/FacetAnalyser/-/jobs/97401983):

```auto

That looks like a problem in ParaView. Failing to find `/ParaViewQt.cmake` makes me think it looked for `${varName}/ParaViewQt.cmake`, and `varName` variable not being set. It is probably best to [report this as a bug](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues) to ParaView.

Many thanks @dzenanz for looking into this and your suggestion.
