Hi,

I'll join in here as I am having possibly related issues.

Since upgrading to 12.10 I have not been able to get QGIS to work.

It appears as if the repositories are not configured to install the 
correct dependencies.

This is the error/message synaptic throws when I try and install...

qgis:
  Depends: qgis-providers but it is not going to be installed
  Depends: qgis-common but it is not going to be installed
  Recommends: qgis-plugin-grass but it is not going to be installed

I have tried setting sources to the nightly builds but it just baulks; 
again complaining about dependencies.

Is quantal builds packages differently than previous versions?
