I take it you mean 12.04/Precise, and the UbuntuGIS repository
not the main Ubuntu one. (or do you mean the "GRASS Team"
repository on Launchpad?)

if your GRASS packages are after-market from UbuntuGIS, please
request on the UbuntuGIS mailing list for them to trigger a
rebuild of the QGIS packages to sync with the current version of 
the GRASS package they ship.

mixing and matching 3rd party repositories which supply
overlapping packages is not recommended, since you get exactly
this sort of inter-depdendency problem.

what version of QGIS are you using? technically it is not hard
to rebuild the packages by yourself, but figuring out the few
small but important commands you need to issue can be a bit of
a learning curve the first time. In this case others will be
having the same trouble, so best to fix it generally in the
UbuntuGIS repositories I think. (if that's where the trouble is)
