cannot update to 0.18

Post by tjp »

I am trying to update from 0.17 to 0.18 on Ubuntu 16.04. I added the repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable

and then

sudo apt-get update

Get:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease [109 kB]
Hit:3 http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-mainta ... ble/ubuntu xenial InRelease

But, still have 0.17.

Running sudo apt-get update just refreshes your local list of packages by getting the indexes from remote servers. If you want to upgrade the package, in this case, you need to run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Any reason you are still using Ubuntu 16.04? You should probably upgrade to 18.04 at least. In this version you will be able to use FreeCAD with Python 3. In the future FreeCAD won't support Python 2, so you should probably make the move before 0.19 is released (next year).

Now something is really screwed up. I ran sudo apt-get dis-upgrade and it ran for a while and then did this:

and now freecad executable has disappeared. It was /usr/bin/freecad, but now freecad is no longer in my path.

What happened?

You already have OpenCASCADE version 7.2.0 packages installed and the 7.3.0 packages needed by FreeCAD failed to replace the old ones. Try sudo apt remove \*occt\* to get rid of any OpenCASCADE package and then once again run the command to install FreeCAD.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Depends: libocct-visualization-7.3 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I then run
sudo apt-get install freecad

freecad is already the newest version (2:0.18.1+dfsg1~201904300243~ubuntu16.04.1).

Can you wrap that output in code tags? It makes it easier to read for me and any others that might happen upon this thread.

Also, the problem is that the remove command did not actually remove the occt 7.2.0 packages, so of course the following commands would not work. Try adding \*freecad\* to the remove command and then it should remove the occt packages as well as any partially installed FreeCAD packages that are causing the remove to fail.

SUCCESS!!!!!

Did the following:
sudo apt remove \*freecad\*
it complained about no
<code>

Errors were encountered while processing:
hl1440lpr:i386
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
</code>

Tried sudo apt autoremove, same results.

Some research, I don't know a lot about the package system, led me to /var/lib/dpkg/info/hl1440lpr.postinst which contained a line to restart lpd. I commented that line out, reran autoremove which ran to completion and then apt-get install freecad. AND IT WORKED! I now have 0.18.1 running.

Mr. Kremitzki, thank you so, so much for your time and effort.

I found it increasingly difficult to install multiple, complex applications on the same system and keep their versions up to date. Especially applications that come with long lists of dependencies.

For that reason I recently switched to creating Docker containers for things like FreeCAD, Slic3r-PE, KiCad and so on. The results are rather promising. Each application now lives in its preferred habitat and I no longer have to worry that my host OS (CentOS) is usually years behind in new libraries for stability reasons. Boxed FreeCAD 0.18 into a container and launched it on CentOS 7 ... worked on first try.

I am aware that an Appimage is a similar approach. There just aren't Appimages available for all the applications I like to isolate.
