Hello Martin,

It seems that this bug is known and fixed upstream, see
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3059449&group_id=49159&atid=455298

Since FreeCAD 0.11 release is imminent, I will probably not make new
uploads of the 0.10 series any more. If getting the 0.10 version to
work is important to you, please do test the patch in the bug report
above against the Debian sources ('apt-get source freecad', apply the
patch and build the package with debuild).

Best,

Teemu
