[Qgis-user] ubuntu 12.10 issues

[Simon Cropper]

Alex,

Thanks, turning the backports off worked for me. I now have v1.7.4 
installed.

Interestingly, no packages were either downloaded or changed by doing 
this BUT it worked. Obviously the package updater was being told to look 
in the wrong spot.
