The issue is, even the latest version of Mint is based on Xenial - you
don't have the means to upgrade the base.
If I have a later version of Ubuntu or Debian than Xenial I don't need
to use the ubuntugis repository - problem solved. Qgis do not provide
the ubuntugis repository so they obviously have limited means to ensure
the packages there are up to date. So the best solution is not to use
ubuntugis if there are issues like this.
There is not a guarantee to support every distro out there and the most
stable option is to use a supported distro.

There are some issues supporting xenial, are you able to test on a
more recent version of Ubuntu or Debian, maybe in a virtual
machine. I am going to have a look at my 17.04 vm with the latest
2.18 to see.
I wonder why xenial should have support issues, being the LTS-version.
I would not recommend Mint - apart from being not an officially
supported distro, the most recent version is based on what is now
relatively old Ubuntu xenial, because the Mint people are falling
behind in development. I switched to Xubuntu to avoid the Unity
controversy.
Mint also has updates, so I do not see the point switching to
somewhere else. The main problem here is imho that ubuntugis-unstable
and the qgis repositories are very often out of sync. But a QGIS
without all the bells and whistles from ubuntugis is quite useless for me.

After the recent update to QGIS 2.18.13, GRASS support is gone.
No plugin and no provider.
My apt sources includes:
deb http://qgis.org/ubuntugis xenial main
deb-src http://qgis.org/ubuntugis xenial main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu
xenial main
deb-src
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu
xenial main
The packages are installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep plugin-grass
ii qgis-plugin-grass
1:2.18.13+24xenial-ubuntugis amd64 GRASS plugin
for QGIS
ii qgis-plugin-grass-common
1:2.18.13+24xenial-ubuntugis all GRASS plugin for
QGIS - architecture-independent data
$ dpkg -l | grep provider-grass
ii qgis-provider-grass
1:2.18.13+24xenial-ubuntugis amd64 GRASS provider
for QGIS
More info:
$ gdalinfo --version
GDAL 2.2.1, released 2017/06/23
$ grass --version
GRASS GIS 7.2.2
Running 'qgis --debug & ' does not show anything unusual.
This is getting tiresome - every few months a routine system
upgrade trashes GRASS support.
Any suggestions are welcome,
Thanks, Micha
