<p>The issue is, even the latest version of Mint is based on Xenial
- you don't have the means to upgrade the base.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If I have a later version of Ubuntu or Debian than Xenial I don't
need to use the ubuntugis repository - problem solved. Qgis do not
provide the ubuntugis repository so they obviously have limited
means to ensure the packages there are up to date. So the best
solution is not to use ubuntugis if there are issues like this.</p>

<p>There is not a guarantee to support every distro out there and
the most stable option is to use a supported distro.<br>

<p>There are some issues supporting xenial, are you able to test
on a more recent version of Ubuntu or Debian, maybe in a
virtual machine. I am going to have a look at my 17.04 vm with
the latest 2.18 to see.</p>

<div>I wonder why xenial should have support issues, being the
LTS-version.</div>

<p>I would not recommend Mint - apart from being not an
officially supported distro, the most recent version is based
on what is now relatively old Ubuntu xenial, because the Mint
people are falling behind in development. I switched to
Xubuntu to avoid the Unity controversy.</p>

<div>Mint also has updates, so I do not see the point switching to
somewhere else. The main problem here is imho that
ubuntugis-unstable and the qgis repositories are very often out
of sync. But a QGIS without all the bells and whistles from
ubuntugis is quite useless for me.</div>

After the recent update to QGIS 2.18.13, GRASS support is
gone. No plugin and no provider. <br>
<br>
My apt sources includes:<br>
deb <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://qgis.org/ubuntugis" moz-do-not-send="true">http://qgis.org/ubuntugis</a>
xenial main<br>

deb <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu</a>

moz-do-not-send="true">http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu</a>
xenial main<br>
<br>
The packages are installed:<br>
$ dpkg -l | grep plugin-grass<br>
ii qgis-plugin-grass
1:2.18.13+24xenial-ubuntugis amd64
GRASS plugin for QGIS<br>
ii qgis-plugin-grass-common
1:2.18.13+24xenial-ubuntugis all
GRASS plugin for QGIS - architecture-independent data<br>
$ dpkg -l | grep provider-grass<br>
ii qgis-provider-grass
1:2.18.13+24xenial-ubuntugis amd64
GRASS provider for QGIS<br>
<br>
More info:<br>
$ gdalinfo --version<br>
GDAL 2.2.1, released 2017/06/23<br>
$ grass --version<br>
GRASS GIS 7.2.2<br>
<br>
Running 'qgis --debug & ' does not show anything unusual.<br>
<br>
This is getting tiresome - every few months a routine system
upgrade trashes GRASS support.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions are welcome,<br>
Thanks, Micha<br>
