How should I proceed from here? Thank you!

#1 Updated by Maximilian Krambach over 8 years ago

It doesn't look like a bug.
It seems that either your /etc/apt/sources.list and/or files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ are out of date or mixed up Debian and Ubuntu somehow. (I guess this from "Wheezy", it is an branch of debian, not ubuntu. So ubuntugis has no packages for it.)

The other packages fail related to a unclean sources lists. (e.g 14.04 stable GDAL is too old for QGIS 2.10). Changing ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu "wheezy" to "trusty" in [wherever ppas are; probably in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntugis] and then running apt-get update again should do the trick.

#3 Updated by sati bodhi over 8 years ago

Below is the content of my amended sources.list:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe restricted multiverse

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security multiverse universe main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-updates multiverse universe main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-proposed multiverse universe main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-backports multiverse universe main restricted
deb http://qgis.org/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://qgis.org/debian wheezy main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu trusty main

Update still turns up with the following error:

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 089EBE08314DF160

W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

And I am left with the same problem:

sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass

Still wheezy. That's wrong. On ubuntu either use the ubuntugis ppa and http://qgis.org/ubuntugis YOURUBUNTUDIST main (ubuntu qgis packages built with ubuntugis dependencies) or remove the ubuntugis ppa and use http://qgis.org/debian YOURUBUNTUDIST main (plain builds with dependencies from).

So either:

deb http://qgis.org/debian trusty main

Or:

deb http://qgis.org/ubuntugis trusty main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu trusty main
