Kicad nightly: OCC conflict with FreeCAD daily (nightly)

maui · March 17, 2021, 1:15pm

Hi,
recently on Ubuntu/Mint 20 FreeCAD daily (nightly) has switched to OCC 7.5.1 (previously it was on OCC 7.3)
This is creating an issue with KiCAD-nightly which relies on OCC 7.3
Would it be possible to build the KiCAD debian package on OCC 7.5 as to allow the coexistence of both sw?
here the FreeCAD PPA:

Wasn’t @tijuca somehow involved with the packing of KiCAD on Ubuntu ? (sorry if I misremembered)

tijuca · March 17, 2021, 3:20pm

No, I’ve nothing to do with Ubuntu and their packaging. I’m (only) maintaining the Debian packages of KiCad.

Sorry I got confused, anyway thank you for your time and effort!

@jsreynaud packages the Ubuntu nightlies.

It looks like libocct-* are not packaged for 7.5.1 on Ubuntu Focal (only 7.3) so I’m confused how FreeCAD has changed?

Seth_h · March 17, 2021, 10:28pm

FreeCAD builds their own PPA for libocct. We use their PPA for Xenial and Bionic where OCC was not packaged for Ubuntu.

If we also used it for Focal and Groovy, it would force uninstall the stable KiCad packaged with the distros (5.1.5 & 5.1.6) because OCC 7.5.1 and 7.3 are mutually exclusive. We could potentially require users to also use the PPA for stable KiCad but first Jean-Samuel is checking to see how hard it would be to add version+ (i.e. >=7.3) dependencies instead.

Hey Folks, there should be some new nightlies up with the OCC logic for both 7.3 or 7.5. Please try them out and let us know if it is still not working

Hi @Seth_h
I’ve just checked and still I cannot install k-nightly.
Here my commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kicad/kicad-dev-nightly
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kicad-nightly
here the errors:

Is there a way to specify to install k-nightly using OCC 7.5 libs?

I’m on:
‘Linux Mint 20.1, code-name “Ulyssa”. It includes Linux Kernel 5.4, based on Ubuntu 20.04’

I get the same error

Seth_h · March 19, 2021, 1:13pm

Hmm… We may have skipped yesterday’s build. I see the amd64 deb is still trying to build. Says it should be done in another couple of hours. Once the build (https://launchpad.net/~kicad/+archive/ubuntu/kicad-dev-nightly/+build/21177970) finishes, can you please try again?

maui · March 19, 2021, 8:32pm

work like a charm

Thanks a lot!

Seth_h · March 19, 2021, 8:33pm

All thanks go to @jsreynaud for figuring this out! Glad it is fixed for you

I’m still busted with a variant of what’s described above and wondering if it’s related. Without freecad daily installed, I can’t install nightly. This is on a freshly installed Ubuntu 20.10 after adding the ppa per instructions.

Is this related to the same issue for resolving the conflict with freecad daily (which I haven’t installed yet on this machine, but will be in the future)? This all seems to have gotten wedged a couple of days ago.

How do I fix this? Please teach me to fish if this is something I can address on my end.

Update:

Installing FreeCAD-daily changes this to the following:

On https://launchpad.net/~kicad/+archive/ubuntu/kicad-dev-nightly/+packages there’s no package for opencascade for groovy and focal. Is that intentional?

FWIW, this does not happen on Hirsute, installs just fine. Seems to be contained to Groovy.
