[Qgis-user] QGIS install fail on Ubuntu 12.04

[José Pedro Santos]

Hi, 

is better to uninstall QGIS from your machine. Try to install by the Ubuntu Software or Synaptic Package. Alternative chek the package name of the plugin and install it with the synaptic package. 
Did you install Ubuntu GIS packages? 

Regards,
José Santos

I had QGIS working on 12.04 this morning. Unfortunately, I did not have the option to "fetch python plugins." I played around with a few different things trying to get it to work to no success. After some reading, it appeared I needed the python-qgis package. I tried to install this package, but missing dependencies prevented installation.


Instead, I completely purged qgis and attempted to reinstall through terminal as outlined here: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Download#26-Ubuntu.


At this time, I'm receiving the following errors. 

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 qgis : Depends: qgis-providers (= 1.8.0-1~precise3) but 1.9.0+git20130316+5d42734~precise1 is to be installed

        Depends: qgis-common (= 1.8.0-1~precise3) but 1.9.0+git20130316+5d42734~precise1 is to be installed
        Recommends: qgis-plugin-globe but it is not going to be installed
        Recommends: qgis-plugin-grass but it is not going to be installed

        Recommends: python-qgis but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I was able to install QGIS (with python plugins) on a fresh 12.04 install on my laptop last night with no problems. I'm not sure what's causing the issue here.


Please advise.
