Feedback on DraftSight:
We downloaded & attempted to install DraftSight on Squeeze.
Doesn't work, the DraftSight deb does not install.
Note: One must first sign a user agreement with the provider before the
installer will (attempt to) install this prog.
After we agreed to (whatever it was), the dpkg process repeatedly produced a bizarre error:
Setting up dassault-systemes-draftsight (2011.2.705) ...
/usr/bin/xdg-mime: 769: cannot create /root/.local/share/applications/defaults.list.new: Directory nonexistent
grep: /root/.local/share/applications/defaults.list.new: No such file or directory
Indeed there is a .local directory in our home directory, but certainly no directory called root there. Perhaps the deb contains a mistake.
We chose to install Qcad, an app that is already in the Debain repository.
HTH
