I don't know why, but there appears to be a conflict between grass70 and
grass70-core packages.

I've been using that PPA on 14.04 but the package grass70 is not installed
in my system:

$ apt-cache policy grass70
grass70:
  Instalados: (ninguno)
  Candidato:  7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1
  Tabla de versión:
     7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/grass/grass-stable/ubuntu/ trusty/main
amd64 Packages

But grass70-core and grass70-gui are in fact installed

$ apt-cache policy grass70-core
grass70-core:
  Instalados: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30825~ubuntu14.04.1
  Candidato:  7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1
  Tabla de versión:
     7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/grass/grass-stable/ubuntu/ trusty/main
amd64 Packages
 *** 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30825~ubuntu14.04.1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ apt-cache policy grass70-gui
grass70-gui:
  Instalados: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30825~ubuntu14.04.1
  Candidato:  7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1
  Tabla de versión:
     7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/grass/grass-stable/ubuntu/ trusty/main
amd64 Packages
 *** 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30825~ubuntu14.04.1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

And grass is working OK, so I'd say the workaround should be issuing:

sudo apt-get install grass70-core grass70-gui

While the PPA maintenance team fixes that
