So it is, but I cannot install it, synaptic claims broken packages,  but 
I click on custom -> broken and the list is empty.  And clicking on fix 
broken packages does nothing.

So synaptic seems confused, as is apt-get, but it at least names the 
proken package, or does it:

root@coyote:/home/gene/src#  apt-get -f install freecad freecad-doc 
qt4-dev-tools

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

But the only error I see is the version of the first package.

JVP, your turn I think.  Is this fixable?
