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.

I use it all the time in Windows. It works, and the price is right.
