This seems similar to an issue reported in the FreeCAD forums [1]. If it is the same issue, there seems to be a problem with the update-alternatives scripts. As a temporary workaround, can you try running `sudo update-alternatives --config freecad` and picking either the -python2 or -python3 option? You may need to install freecad-python3 first before that command works, if you only have freecad-python2 installed. [1] https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34468
