Right, so no problem. Your sources.list is irregular (not quite the
word perhaps) and there must be another freecad version in one of those
irregular repositories because freecad is not available in vanilla
Wheezy at all.
I thought we were talking about the version in wheezy-backports, which
prompted me to post what I posted.
