I still get the following with an update/upgrade on Ubuntu 16.04. Is it related?

After I update the gitversioning/release branch should the above be
freecad (1:0.17.13525-1ppa1) xenial; urgency=medium

The releases/FreeCAD-0-17 branch is now at revision 13528. Yorik merged Wandererfan's PD single solid error message, which will be a HUGE help to us who reply to questions from puzzled users (I hope). Thanks Wandererfan, and thanks Yorik!!!

git commit 1889f1f
git commit 5c3f7bf

Oh yes, that will be in fact a great relief. I wonder how these noob questions come in waves, and recently we had seen many of these single solid questions.

libocct 7.3 conflicts with libocct 7.2

I had to apt-get remove freecad (and apt autoremove to remove dependencies) then apt-get install freecad to clear it.

I don't understand why you had to do that. For me it was automatic through the update manager - but I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.

If you do sudo apt upgrade but not sudo apt full-upgrade or dist-upgrade then OCCT 7.2 won't be removed in order to install 7.3 which is required to proceed, but if you remove and then autoremove to clear OCCT 7.2, then a fresh install can proceed.
