Ubuntu 19.10 install issues

[alterself]

TLDR; installed libglvnd0 is too new (1.3.1-1)

while libopengl0 wants 1.1.1. Tried to downgrade to 1.1.1, but that appears to break all sorts of QT/kde stuff

truncated dependency apt install walk:

libglvnd0 is already the newest version (1.3.1-1~oibaf~e).

Any thoughts on how to go about resolving these library issues? I realize most/all of this is outside of FreeCAD directly, but the system is fairly stock and 100% working otherwise.

How are you installing FreeCAD, and what version? That's the most important aspect.

FreeCAD works pretty well on LTS versions like 18.04. If you have no luck with the dependencies, you should try the AppImage.
