Hi Ben,
No joy, I'm afraid. I think I did everything you recommended. I'm going to
run through it in case I missed something obvious:
- I ran sudo apt remove qgis grass qgis-plugin-grass, then ran sudo
apt-get update
- The /etc/apt/sources file contains the correct info because I modified
it for the last installation
- I ran autoremove on QGIS and erased over a gigabyte of
dependencies (which seemed like a *lot*..)
- I ran sudo apt-key list to check if the ubuntugis-unstable PPA was
still listed as trusted, and it didn't appear
- I added the ubuntugis stable PPA as recommended on
https://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/UbuntuGISRepository, with sudo
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa, and it appeared to duplicate your
command sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key
51F523511C7028C3. Is that possible when they appear to reference two
different PPA's?
- I ran sudo apt-get install qgis qgis-plugin-grass and received the
following error message, similar to before:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
qgis : Depends: gdal-abi-2-2-3
Depends: libqgis-analysis3.12.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqgis-app3.12.0 but it is not going to be installed

I must be missing something. Do I have to open the UI via terminal (sudo
nautilus) and manually remove every file which makes reference to QGIS and
ubuntugis-unstable? As formatting my machine isn't an option there must be
a simple way of completely removing the program and its dependencies..
right?!
I don't even know what Gdal is or does, because I can't even get started
learning QGIS because I'm finding it impossible to have a version running
for long enough to start with tutorials! Is it to allow you to overlay
raster info onto GIS projects or something? I googled it but the
explanation must have been written by a robot (no offence intended, to
robots I mean). Gdal was the reason I installed the ubuntugis-unstable PPA,
because Blender gave me the helpful error message: Please install gdal to
enable raster projection support. As my crystal ball was clouded up when I
read that I came here to bug you guys for help!
Thanks again to everyone who has had a go at helping me. Keep those ideas
coming!!
Cheers,
Jimi.
