Thank you Andre! I managed to follow these steps:
1. sudo apt-get purge -auto--remove qgis 2. sudo apt-get clean 3. sudo apt-get install python-software-properties 4. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable 5. sudo apt-get update 6. sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass This installed QGIS 2.8 on my machine, BUT the compiled / running GDAL/OGR versions are now both 1.11.2 and Heatmaps plugin is showing the output format drop-down list! This is nearly perfect then, except that I lost the last up-to-date QGIS version. Would you know what I could have missed to start back to QGIS 2.8? Thanks again!
