[Qgis-user] Fetch plugins missing

[Albin Blaschka]

Hello!

I just (will say week-end) had the same experience on a fresh install of 
Ubuntu 13.04:

At first I added the ubuntu-gis-repository (ppa), but that gave me a old 
version of QGIS, so I added the repository given at the download-page 
(http://qgis.org/debian raring main) and did an update, with which I got 
QGIS 1.8 as wished, but with missing "fetch plugins". I had to remove 
the ubuntugis ppa and doing a "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude 
safe-upgrade" brought it back...

I do not have the computer at hand at the moment, to look into with more 
detail and providing them, sorry...

regards,
Albin
