Looks like thanks were premature. People are looking at freecad now. Don’t know if it can or will be fixed for Lx 4.2. But goal is to get this fixed for Cooker, Rolling, and Lx 4.3. Presently freecad-0.19.2-3 in Cooker installs and opens but there are errors.
Enabled “unsupported” repo and installed FreeCAD 0.19.4.
Opened several examples it seems working.
At opening I get error messages in “Report” window:
12:03:30 During initialization the error "No module named 'shiboken2'" occurred in /usr/lib64/freecad/Mod/AddonManager/InitGui.py
12:03:30 Please look into the log file for further information

Updated to freecad-0.19.4-0.20220205.4 and error message is still there.
In Help → About version shown is 0.20 (not 0.19).
And an old problem in icons regarding “zoom”.
Thanks, package freecad-0.19.4-0.20220205.6 solves this. However FreeCAD Help will not be showed due to the bug described here. A workaround has been found here: the fist time run FreeCAD ad administrator with
sudo FreeCAD
and press F1 to oopen Help: it should be showed. Then close FreeCAD and run it with your normal user.
The package freecad-0.19.4-0.20220205.4 (I hope) fixes this.
In fact you discover we are using a snapshot from development branch 0.20 because 0.19 is not compatible with opencascade 7.6.x.
Which one? It’s from upstream or it is only in omlx package?
