Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. I have filed a request for sync bug (which I will mark
this as a duplicate of) to ask that the newer version of opencascade is
pulled from Debian and into Ubuntu. Please be aware that this package,
if accepted, will be destined for the next release, Karmic Koala.

In order to ensure the Ubuntu system remains stable, updates to a stable
release are kept to a minimum and are generally for bug fixes and
security issues. If and when the opencascade package is updated from
Debian you may ask that it is backported to Jaunty. Steps and
information may be viewed at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How%20to%20request%20new%20packages

If you feel you need to update and are willing to use a completely
unsupported and generally untested package (it builds, it installs, it
removes), I have uploaded this package to my PPA at
https://launchpad.net/~stupendoussteve/+archive/ppa - If you do decide
to use this package I suggest you set up the PPA in your apt sources
(temporarily), rather than downloading the .deb files themselves, as
this will ensure the package manager installs required dependencies.
Please note many of the names of the binaries have changed from the
current stable (opencascade-tools has been split, many of the packages
now include a -6.3.0 suffix), because of this I suggest you remove the
stable packages beforehand. The package version is such that if Ubuntu
releases an official package of the same version, it will be updated to
their package.

Once again, thank you for the report!
