[Qgis-user] Re: [Qgis-developer] Critical problems with 1.7.2 from ubuntu binaries

[Etienne Tourigny]

I think I misunderstood the problem, the ubuntugis-unstable repos only
allows 1 version of qgis installed at a time.

If you need to uninstall qgis-1.7.0 before upgraging to 1.7.2, then
there surely must be a problem with the upgrade process in the .deb?
