I don't know why, but there appears to be a conflict between grass70 and grass70-core packages.
I've been using that PPA on 14.04 but the package grass70 is not installed in my system: $ apt-cache policy grass70 grass70: Instalados: (ninguno) Candidato: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 Tabla de versión: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/grass/grass-stable/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages But grass70-core and grass70-gui are in fact installed $ apt-cache policy grass70-core grass70-core: Instalados: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30825~ubuntu14.04.1 Candidato: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 Tabla de versión: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/grass/grass-stable/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages *** 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30825~ubuntu14.04.1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy grass70-gui grass70-gui: Instalados: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30825~ubuntu14.04.1 Candidato: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 Tabla de versión: 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30828~ubuntu14.04.1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/grass/grass-stable/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages *** 7.0.0~ppa~1~revno-30825~ubuntu14.04.1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status And grass is working OK, so I'd say the workaround should be issuing: sudo apt-get install grass70-core grass70-gui While the PPA maintenance team fixes that 2014-08-27 13:08 GMT-05:00 Markus Neteler <nete...@osgeo.org>: > On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 6:52 PM, Markus Neteler <nete...@osgeo.org> wrote: > > Hi Sergio, > > > > On Wed, Aug 27, 2014 at 10:34 AM, Sergio Vignali > > <vignalisergi...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, > >> I've just tried to install grass70 on ubuntu 12.04 by these command > >> > >> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grass/grass-stable > >> sudo apt-get update > >> sudo apt-get install grass70 grass70-gui > >> > >> the error says that there are damaged or blocked packages > > > > To better understand, I have created a virtual machine with Ubuntu > > 12.04 and tried myself.
