EDIT: the solution:
Confirm before instructing the first command (apt remove) to continue that only kicad and libocct* libraries are being removed. If it says that other packages are being removed, either don’t execute it or be prepared to reinstall those packages afterwards:
$ sudo apt remove "libocct*"
$ sudo apt install kicad
EDIT2: after upgrade to 24.10, after re-adding the PPA and apt-get update’ing, I tried to install and it did not work:
Unsatisfied dependencies:
libocct-visualization-7.8 : Depends: occt-misc (= 7.8.1+dfsg1-2) but 1:7.6.3+dfsg1-8~ubuntu24.04.1 is to be installed
What I needed to do:
$ sudo apt remove "libocct*"
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
$ sudo apt-get install kicad
(note that you need to be aware of what this may do on your particular system.)
Original post:
Hi – Kicad 8.0.4 on Kubuntu 24.04, installed via kicad PPA. Kicad has been working fine the last year or so, but with a recent update I can no longer open any PCB projects. (Schematics open fine.)
I see “Application cannot start” with:
Failed to load shared library ‘/usr/bin/_pcbnew.kiface’: libTKBO.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any ideas what might be going on?
