[Qgis-user] GRASS support lost (again) on Ubuntu/Mint

[Angelos Tzotsos]

We have tried to build everything on experimental ppa before we move the 
packages to unstable ppa (and when we move packages to unstable we send 
an e-mail to the QGIS packagers to rebuild their repo). Unfortunately 
not all UbuntuGIS packagers wait until they publish on unstable, so 
things like that might happen.

Best,
Angelos
