Bug#981175: freecad: when installed with Gnome Software, only `freecad-common` package is installed

[Yvan Masson]

Package: freecad
Version: 0.19~pre1+git20210109.afd1470202+dfsg1-2


Dear maintainers,

Please apologize if this issue lies in another package, I don't 
understand exactly how all of this works. I am currently using Debian 
testing with Gnome.

I installed FreeCAD from Gnome Software, but unfortunately FreeCAD can 
not be started after that: it does not appear among other installed 
applications, and nothing happens when clicking on "Launch" button from 
Gnome Software. I checked what was really installed in 
`/var/log/apt/history.log` and saw that Gnome Software only installed 
package `freecad-common` instead of `freecad`.

I understand Gnome Software uses PackageKit, so I thought it would be 
related to the appdata file[1], but there is no reference to the package 
name inside it.

Regards,
Yvan
