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. 1. https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/freecad/-/blob/master/src/XDGData/org.freecadweb.FreeCAD.appdata.xml.in
