Hi, this morning (13/02) something happened to Ubuntu 22.04 jammy (Mate) packaging:

$ sudo apt install kicad
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libocct-data-exchange-7.6 : Breaks: libocct-data-exchange-7.5 but 1:7.5.2+dfsg1-0~202107020155~ubuntu22.04.1 is to be installed

Sounds like this problem?

yes, after a few days the trouble reached me too.

Well, at least now i have an excuse to jump on the 8.0.0-rc wagon that is still running strong! :slight_smile:

I think you will find you can download and use the 7.0.11-rc testing build.
I did this a couple of days ago because 7.0.10 vanished from my computer. All the Kicad libraries remained in usr / share, there was just no access to 7.0.10.
The testing build took over 7.0.10, personal libraries and all.

I simply ran the following command to explicitly install the correct version.

sudo apt-get install occt-misc=7.6.3+dfsg1-7
