FYI, there's a recently new ppa purge command which is awesome for cleaning out ppas and stuff they installed back to base system.
As for this issue, I reread some stuff and saw a hint from Victor that there's a checkbox in the plugin config to enable SAGA 2.0.8 to work with QGIS 2+ I think SAGA 2.1 will have to wait for newer than Ubuntu 12.04 http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/71821/saga-2-0-8-and-gqis-2-0-1-on-ubuntu-13-04/72376?noredirect=1#72376 http://hub.qgis.org/issues/8301 Thanks, Alex On 09/30/2013 09:54 AM, Barry Rowlingson wrote: > Tried adding that PPA, now saga conflicts with itself in synaptic. > > And if I install with apt-get it removes Qgis.
