[Ubuntu] QGis 3 on UbuntuGIS PPA

[Worth Lutz]

I'm trying to setup a laptop with Ubuntu 18.04 to use offline.  I use 
MapServer from ubuntugis as a localhost wms server with apache. This works.

I tried installing QGIS 3.4 and Grass but ran into problems.  
Ubuntugis/unstable has grass 7.4.2 for bionic and the QGIS grass plugin 
is wanting 7.4.0.

There is no bionic build in the qgis.org/ubuntugis repository yet so I 
have this problem. Removing the ubuntugis ppa lets me install QGIS and 
Grass.

It seems that there should be a ubuntugis build for bionic due to the 
upgrade to grass.  Is that coming with the next point release?

Is this the normal inconsistency problem with using ubuntugis which has 
been described in this email thread?  The one which gets fixed at each 
QGIS point release and not with each change to ubuntugis?
