[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7 and Ubuntu GIS packages, was qgis-grass-plugin dependency issue

[Dan Putler]

I have run into the same problem. The mix and match between the QGIS and Ubuntu GIS repositories is not pleasant. Until the current QGIS 1.7 release, exclusively using the Ubuntu GIS repository was a "just works" experience. I have also noticed a big performance degradation between the 1.6 and 1.7 releases in terms of the length of time it takes to render a shapefile. In addition, I'm getting rendering errors for files that rendered just fine in 1.6, and have no problems in either uDig, and gvSIG. I thought it might be due to the shapefiles being less than perfect, so I cleaned them in GRASS. The cleaned files also have rendering errors, but those errors are slightly different than for the original files. I'd be happy to send these files along if someone in the development team is interested. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) on two machines, one 32 bit, the other 64 bit, with the underlying support stack largely coming from the Ubuntu GIS repo. My hunch
 at this moment is that there is something in the Ubuntu GIS based stack that this release of QGIS doesn't play well with.

Hi, 

I use the latest stable qgis version  (1.7) on Ubuntu Natty.
Since now, I was using the default Grass package and the Qgis-grass plugin was working fine.

I added the following repository : http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu to update GRASS.

GRASS 6.4.1 is now installed on my computer. The problem is when I try to install qgis-grass-plugin through the Package Manager, I get the following error message :

qgis-plugin-grass:
 Dépend: grass640+42329

Could someone help me to make that work? Is it risky to force the install without checking dependencies?

Many thanks
