[Qgis-user] Problems with ubuntu-unstable again

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi Jürgen,
thanks for the reply.

Ok, as I understood your words, I disabled ubuntugis and enabled instead:

deb http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly-release trusty main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu trusty
main

But still, QGIS will not install:

bernd at bernd-TERRA-PC ~ $ sudo apt-get install qgis
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    qgis : Depends: libgdal.so.1-1.11.2
           Depends: libgdal1h (>= 1.8.0) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libqgis-analysis2.16.0 but it is not going to be
installed
           Depends: libqgis-app2.16.0 but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libqgis-core2.16.0 but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libqgis-gui2.16.0 but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libqgis-networkanalysis2.16.0 but it is not going to be
installed
           Depends: python-qgis (=
1:2.16.0+git20160712+1b016e4+20trusty-ubuntugis) but it is not going to be
installed
           Depends: qgis-providers (=
1:2.16.0+git20160712+1b016e4+20trusty-ubuntugis) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Actually, I do not intend to have something "unstable" or exotic, but  
simply just the same
flavour as when I use the OSGEO4W-installer on Windows.

Even after years, I can't figure out from the help pages what all the  
stuff means and how things have to be handled in case something doesn't  
work (which happens actually at each change of version, but the way to  
resolve this seems to be different every time).

Thankful for any hint
Bernd
