QGIS (Quantum GIS) install fails, unmet dependencies
May be you are doing some mistake.. I recommend you to follow the official website of Qgis to install it in Ubuntu 13.04.
I'm listing the way how to install:
1st way to install QGIS (preferred.)
First remove already added repositories which you tried to install Qgis:
Execute this in your terminal:
sudo software-properties-gtk
and go to Other Software tab.Then remove those repositories that you added using your mentioned tutorial. Find names similar to
http://qgis.org/debian
andubuntugis-unstable
. Close the window.The execute this command in terminal to update your repository:
sudo apt-get update
Now add the
QGIS
repository once again to your/etc/apt/sources.list
file. Do it by following these steps:Open terminal and execute:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add following lines at the last line:
deb http://qgis.org/debian raring main deb-src http://qgis.org/debian raring main
Save the file and close the window.
Execute following two commands to add
public key
ofQGIS
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 47765B75 gpg --export --armor 47765B75 | sudo apt-key add -
Update repository by executing following command:
sudo apt-get update
Now install
QGIS
by following these steps:First remove already installed
QGIS
or any residual( and broken) packages if any:sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get autoremove qgis sudo apt-get --purge remove qgis
Install grass plugin:
sudo apt-get install grass sudo apt-get install qgis-plugin-grass
Finally install
QGIS
:sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis
2nd way to install *QGIS
via Ubuntugis repository:*
You can also install QGIS
by adding Ubuntugis
repository. (The ubuntugis project provides newer versions of various FOSSGIS packages, QGIS being one of them.)
First remove
http://qgis.org/debian
lines from your/etc/apt/sources.list
. 2nd step in my first method can help you how to remove.Then executes these commands:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass
It should install without any problem. Reply if something goes wrong..

The error message you get simply tells you that some dependencies cannot be installed from the "standard" Ubuntu repository (for your version of Ubuntu).
For exemple python-qgis-common (from the package you are trying to install) depends on libqgis2.0.1
However if you look at the version of this package installed by Ubuntu in the official standard repository:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=libqgis&searchon=names
You can see the the version supported by Ubuntu (from their official repo) is 1.7.5 for Raring and up. Nothing for Precise ...
Well Ubuntu is always late to support the latest version of any non core software.
However I did manage to install the latest version QGIS on my Ubuntu 12.04 Precise simply by visiting the QGIS.org website:
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Download
When in trouble it is always better to refer to the website of the organization.
Then look at Chapter 2.6 Ubuntu
The repositories are to be added to the file /etc/apt/sources.list
by issuing:
sudo gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Then run the usual
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qgis
The response in the command line will recommend you to install the following packages:
qgis-plugin-grass pyhton-qgis qgis-plugin-globe
Get some information on whether you need to install them.
That's it. No more bla-bla. I usually prefer to understand the commands & actions I take to correct a problem. There is no better source than the original developper.
