kicad 5.1 fails install. All 6 libocct-xxx fail to load due to unmet dependencies

Asked by James Robert Gilbert

I have ubuntu 20.04.6 and trying to load the kicad 5.1 package using from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages
The following packages fail to load due to unmet dependencies.
 -libocct-foundation-7.3_7.3.3+dfsg1-1build1_amd64.deb
 -libocct-modeling-data-7.3_7.3.3+dfsg1-1build1_amd64.deb
-libocct-modeling-algorithms-7.3_7.3.3+dfsg1-1build1_amd64.deb
-libocct-visualization-7.3_7.3.3+dfsg1-1build1_amd64.deb
-libocct-ocaf-7.3_7.3.3+dfsg1-1build1_amd64.deb
-libocct-data-exchange-7.3_7.3.3+dfsg1-1build1_amd64.deb
Error shown is: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I don't know what the unmet dependencies are.
The Open Cascade Technology website does not seem to address the dependencies.

Apparently there are two different versions of the libocct-* packages that cannot be installed at the same time (7.3 and 7.6)

What is the output of the command
apt policy libocct-foundation-7.3 libocct-foundation-7.6

As far as I can see, libocct-foundation-7.6 is the version for Ubuntu mantic which now conflicts with the version in the repositories for Ubuntu focal. That seems to be the root cause.

Remark:
There is a minor error in your package management configuration. Although you are running Ubuntu focal, there is a reference to Ubuntu bionic in your sources.list configuration file.

To Manfred Hampl,
Success!!! Your suggestion of a incorrect libocct-foundation-7.6 was right. Here is what I did>

answer to Manfred :
apt policy libocct-foundation-7.3 libocct-foundation-7.6
libocct-foundation-7.3:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 7.3.3+dfsg1-1build1
  Version table:
     7.3.3+dfsg1-1build1 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages
libocct-foundation-7.6:
  Installed: 1:7.6.3+dfsg1-8~ubuntu20.04.1
  Candidate: 1:7.6.3+dfsg1-8~ubuntu20.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 1:7.6.3+dfsg1-8~ubuntu20.04.1 500
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

additional steps I did:
sudo apt remove kicad
sudo apt autoremove

This got rid of the partially working KiCAD program and the accompanying libraries.
It also removed a warning symbol in the top label area about the broken install.

I then backed up my /home directory to an external drive just in case anything died.

next I went into the Software&Updates->Other Software and removed the ppa references to the bionic security
and then did:
sudo apt update
[sudo] password for jim-u2:

14 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

then did:
sudo apt remove libocct-foundation-7.6
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install kicad (NOTE: this installed error free this time!! Joy abounds!!)

installed the following packages:
extra-xdg-menus kicad-doc-en kicad-packages3d glew-utils wx3.0-doc
first checked with: sudo apt policy XXXXXX
followed by: sudo apt install XXXXXX

Tested install with some KiCAD projects I am working on and all worked as normal.

Thanks a bunch Manfred.
