I tried to install freecad as I have some experience with it on *buntu 10-04 LTS, but that blew up my database and I now have about 70 :amd64 files installed on an i386 system. And neither synaptic nor dpkg will let me fix it. See my other msg this morning.
I may have to see if I can upodate to jessie yet. In which case I do it as amd64 as I believe the linuxcnc simulation will run on it. The real thing will not, the amd64 latency is horrible. But the simulator is running on an amd64 kernel right now. root@coyote:/var/cache/apt/archives# uname -a Linux coyote 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2~bpo70+1 (2016-04-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux And its happy as a clam.
