This means that tqgis-plugin-grass will not be installed, because it depends on a version of grass which can not be installed. So either Stanislav has to remove all of grass from ubuntugis and install qgis from the qgis repository. Or he has to remove all qgis from the qgis repository and install everything from the ubuntugis repository. > > So installing qgis-trunk from the nigthly-build repo can lead to > unexpected behaviours because it uses an old gdal library because there > are recent features that need gdal >= 1.7 to work. And daily builds can always lead to unexpected behaviour. That's why I think it is better for novice users not to use them (that is, if actual release are tested better than trunk, which is not always the case). > > Cheers > > -- Giovanni -- > ___ UbuntuGIS mailing list Ubuntu@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
Re: [Ubuntu] Question about packages in Unstable ppa
Hi, having enabled both the ubuntugis and the nightly-builds repository is harmless. The main difference (an important one indeed) is that qgis 1.7 in the ubuntugis repo is compiled against gdal 1.8 available in the same repo, while qgis-trunk is compiled against gdal 1.6 available in the official ubuntu repo. So installing qgis-trunk from the nigthly-build repo can lead to unexpected behaviours because it uses an old gdal library because there are recent features that need gdal >= 1.7 to work.

Re: [Ubuntu] Question about packages in Unstable ppa
As an fyi the daily builds come from qgis.org but for most users I also recommend using the ubuntugis repo. So to reiterate check your sources list and make sure you only have 1 place that qgis could come from (aside from ubuntu itself).
