by the way, the content at :
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable
You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted
PPA by adding *ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable* to your system's Software
Sources. (Read about
installing<https://launchpad.net/+help-soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html>
)[help information in the brackets are a little confusing.]

best regards,
