Bug Description

[Impact]

* Using freecad 0.16.6712+dfsg1-1ubuntu2 from Ubuntu 18.04, the Start Workbench is broken due to a missing Qt4 dependency of WebGui.

* Backporting the proposed fix will prvent FreeCAD from building the affected Workbench as well as changing the default to the Part Workbench.

* The proposed upload will fix the issue by setting the default workbench to "PartWorkbench" in src/Main/MainGui.cpp. Additionally, the pacakage rules file is modified to prevent the Start Workbench from being built.

[Test Case]

* On Ubuntu 18.04, install freecad and run normally.

* An empty Start Workbench is loaded. The message "No module named WebGui" is logged in the report view.

[Regression Potential]

* All functionality provided by the Start Workbench will be unavailable.

The same issue is noted on Ubuntu 18.04 Wayland.

On XServer it didn't run and shows error "Unable to create drawable".

Same here, at first you are met with a very sparse window, but FreeCad is thankfully usable if you use the view drop down and select a workbench

I have prepared a change to the Debian package that will eliminate this issue.

Hi Zachary! Apologies for the delay in reviewing your patch.

I only uploaded the patch that applies to this bug, as the other one was marked as a duplicate.
I changed the version to 0.16.6712+dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1 to match the Stable Release Update guidelines.

~ubuntu-sponsors has been unsubscribed, please resubscribe them if the patch needs to be tweaked prior to acceptance.

Thank you for your contribution!

The upload to the SRU queue for Bionic does not match the debdiff attached to this bug nor this bug's description. Why was the debian/rules file change dropped?

Reminder: SRU processing is currently blocked pending the answer to Brian's question in comment 9. If it remains blocked, the upload will get rejected from the queue.

An upload of freecad to bionic-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "This was rejected from the queue to questions from the Ubuntu SRU team which were unanswered.".
