Hi Kris,
For such tests, maybe it would be best to do it safely on a separate testing PPA that only the most daring users will have installed.
That being said, a new Coin package that does not embed an old expat library will certainly be good news.

Re: Latest freecad-community update broke *all* versions of FreeCAD on Ubuntu 18.04
Sorry, I'm in the midst of transitioning the PPA to Qt 5 so there's going to be some breakage. A new freecad-daily package for 18.04 is building now and I'll get to the stable ones soon, it seems there a few bugs at least in Ubuntu 18.10. (Failing to load FEM workbench for example.)
Edit: Unfortunately at the moment I only have the new Coin package working with the new Pivy which means it's 18.04 and above only.

Updated the freecad-daily package, I "unblocked" the expat/libexpat1/libexpat-dev packages which I had reverted to the Ubuntu 16.04 versions to avoid the crash bug with opening SVGs. So far so good!
Thanks!

Stable freecad version, stable OS, depandency problem...mhm... why not using temporary the AppImage version of Freecad ?
Yes you can, and it works
https://www.freecadweb.org/downloads.php
My conf (addon workbench) are available, so it let all time needed to fix the packaging problem, cause AppImage contains all its required dependancy
Enjoy

A better workaround is to add the freecad-daily PPA to your software sources and install the freecad-daily package.

Done, and i think will be better for testing curvesWB

OK, for now I will only trigger 14.04 and 16.04.kkremitzki wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 12:25 am Edit: Unfortunately at the moment I only have the new Coin package working with the new Pivy which means it's 18.04 and above only.
We will need to branch the packaging repro on LP to allow to build on LP. Kurt, do you want me to work on this?

I just made a copy of the packaging recipes and updated the packaging branches to -qt5, e.g. the daily-qt5 recipe uses the dailybuild-occt-qt5 branch in the git packaging. I did similarly for the stable build recipes for 18.04+. Essentially I just updated the packaging dependencies in debian/control to match what's in the Debian packaging upstream, and I added the necessary Qt 5 build flags in debian/rules.
So, the other builds just need to be triggered separately.

Hi,
I'm guessing this affects the stable PPA as well. The freecad package builds there appear to be failing for i386 and amd64 at the moment.

Luckily ,I have Timeshift installed and was able to restore the previous day's snapshot and disable the freecad-daily PPA to prevent the update proceeding.
I recommend Timeshift to anyone running a Linux O/S.
