AW: [Qgis-user] Many crashes on ubuntu 8.10 with recommanded binairies

[Peter Ersts]

The is a big problem with the base GDAL package in Ubuntu 8.10. It is 
too bad Ubuntu has not updated this.

You can get an updated version of GDAL by adding the following launchpad 
repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list files

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu intrepid main
