[Qgis-developer] Re: [Qgis-user] [Fwd: Binary QGIS 1.2.0.2~jaunty + GRASS does not work]

[Agustin Lobo]

This is what I've tried now (not having the qgis grass plugin installed):

sudo apt-get remove libgdal1-1.5.0
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install libgdal1-1.6.0
sudo apt-get install grass
grass -tcltk

and

In grass
r.in.gdal -o 
input=/media/Transcend/ANYELLA/catuav20090730/tif/SDIM0178.tif 
output=delmetif

worked fine. Is this a sufficient test for "Can you use any GRASS layers 
from GDAL? "
If not, tell me which one would be more appropriate.

Now, if I try:
$ sudo apt-get install qgis-plugin-grass
Reading package lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
  libgdal1-1.5.0 libgdal1-1.5.0-grass qgis-plugin-grass-common
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libgdal1-1.5.0 libgdal1-1.5.0-grass qgis-plugin-grass
  qgis-plugin-grass-common

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.

So I do not see the workaround, how can I install qgis-plugin-grass
and not libgdal1-1.5.0-grass ?

The only thing I can do is removing
libgdal1-1.5.0-grass after installing qgis-plugin-grass, but
this does not seem to work...

(how can I list all items related to qgis and grass using apt?)
