[Qgis-user] ubuntu 12.10 issues

[Rudi von Staden]

Hi Nicholas,

It sounds like your repositories are in a bit of a mixed-up state if you
upgraded to 12.10 (quantal) and your sources.list has repos from 12.04
(precise). Also if your sources gui is broken, you might need to get ubuntu
to a stable state before looking at qgis. The first step is to check what
repositories and ppa's you have enabled.  Could you attach or paste your
full /etc/apt/sources.list file? Also the output of this command run from
the terminal:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list | grep ppa

Kind regards,
Rudi
