Gang, I was able to use the process linked by Alex to downgrade to Precise stable, rather than precise proposed. However, after following those directions I received a series of errors related to CUPS. After some searching, I used the following process: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1856911 to fix those errors. Once everything worked, I installed qgis from the terminal. Everything now appears to be working.
Thank you. -- All the best, Lee ISA Certified Arborist MI-4148A Registered Forester #46043 On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 9:38 PM, Alex Mandel <tech_...@wildintellect.com>wrote: > You need to take several steps back. > > My suspicion, and likely no fault of your own, precise-proposed repos are > turned on.
