I am running KDE Neon User Edition 5.11.4 on the amd64 version of
Ubuntu 16.04.3. I would like to test the nightly build of QGIS 2.99, but
cannot install it due to dependency problems. In particular, it seems
like the problem is that the virtual packages sip-api-11.2 and
qtbase-abi-5-5-1 are not available.
I am trying to install via these repositories:
deb http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly xenial main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu xenial
main
I purged my existing QGIS (2.18.5) and GRASS versions before
attempting the install. First it seems like the install does not attempt
to install depedencies:
# apt-get install qgis

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qgis : Depends: libqgis-app2.99.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqgis-gui2.99.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-qgis (=
1:2.99.0+git20171229+63c19256+24xenial-ubuntugis) but it is not going to
be installed
Depends: qgis-providers (=
1:2.99.0+git20171229+63c19256+24xenial-ubuntugis) but it is not going to
be installed
Recommends: qgis-plugin-grass but it is not going to be installed

I checked held packages and only have FireFox held. I assume that
is not the problem with QGIS:
# dpkg -l | grep '^h'
hi firefox
1:56.0+build6-0ubuntu0.17.04.1 amd64
Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla
#
Then I specified the unmet dependencies to the installer, but have
problems with unmet dependencies of the QGIS dependencies:
# apt-get install qgis libqgis-app2.99.0 libqgis-gui2.99.0 python-qgis
qgis-providers

This seems to suggest that the underlying problem is with the
packages sip-api-11.2 and qtbase-abi-5-5-1. The latter is supposed to be
supplied by libqt5core5a. I have that package installed, but a newer
version:
# dpkg -l libqt5core5a

I also have a newer version of python-sip, which is supposed to
provide sip-api-11.2:

Is there a workaround to avoid these two virtual packages?
Thanks,
