[Qgis-user] python error

[Jeffrey Durrence]

Summary:  Updating from nightly builds breaks python-qgis-common

I've experienced the same problem as reported by Matteo.  I see where someone posted on stackexchange but it was closed as off-topic.
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/29094/how-to-install-qgis-on-ubuntu-12-04

Any insight on resolving this would be terrific.
