wheezy backport of FreeCAD is not installable
I was very happy to see there is a version of FreeCAD in wheezy backports!
However, it appears to be uninstallable for me. After adding:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main
to my /etc/apt/sources.list file, and doing:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install freecad
I see:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
freecad : Depends: python-pivy (>= 0.5.0~v609hg-2) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: python-collada but it is not installable
Recommends: python-ply but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Looking at http://packages.debian.org/python-pivy, I see the version of
python-pivy is 0.5.0~v609hg-1 in wheezy, and 0.5.0~v609hg-3 in both sid
and jessie. There does not appear to be any version in wheezy-backports.
Should version 0.5.0~v609hg-3 of python-pivy be added to wheezy-backports?
Is there another workaround I can use for the time being?
Thanks!
