Description
I'm proposing to update the priority of the original issue to Severe as it seems to break QGIS on Ubuntu 16.04, having to revert to 2.14 being the only means I've found to get a working version of QGIS. QGIS update fails on dependency gdal-abi-2-1-2, while that version of GDAL seems to have been pulled from the repos with the recent update to libgdal 2-1-3 + Dfsg.
Original Issue:
On Ubuntu Xenial, qgis and gdal can not be updated together.
Qgis 2.18.4 > qgis 2.18.5
Gdal 2.1.2 > gdal 2.1.3
Error messages:
Qgis:
Depends on: gdal-abi-2-1-2
libgdal 2.1.3. + Dfsg ~ xenial is available in the package sources!

This affects only the Ubuntugis version of QGIS. The Debian version of 2.18.5 runs fine on xenial (but with GDAL 1.11.3).
Maybe an issue with the ubuntugis packaging not in sync with the qgis.org/ubuntugis repo.
As a sidenote:
The Ubuntugis (stable) ppa provides GDAL 2.1.0 (with gdal-abi-2-1-0), and the Ubuntugis-unstable ppa provides GDAL 2.1.3 (with gdal-abi-2-1-3) for now.
QGIS should be able to work with both of them (but does neither currently).

A workaround is shown here: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/216780/cannot-install-qgis-2-18-from-repository-on-debian-stretch-package-gdal-abi-2/233830#233830
And another chance at http://serverfault.com/questions/250224/how-do-i-get-apt-get-to-ignore-some-dependencies/383958#383958 and https://superuser.com/questions/739274/ignore-all-dependencies-for-a-specific-package-with-apt-get/815371#815371
but I have not tested it myself.

The workaround indicated by Andre of creating a fake gdal-abi-2-1-2 package (http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/216780/cannot-install-qgis-2-18-from-repository-on-debian-stretch-package-gdal-abi-2/233830#233830) sorts the dependency problem out and allows the updates from the Ubuntugis repos for both GDAL and QGIS to function. Thanks Andre :)

It's been fixed, the Ubuntugis repositories have been updated, and QGIS 2.18.5 installs and works fine now.

Same issue, next round:
The ubuntugis unstable ppa has updated GDAL from version 2.1.3 to 2.2.1. Any previous QGIS installation gets removed on updating.
Installing QGIS 2.18.11 from http://qgis.org/ubuntugis xenial main is currently not possible, because it depends on GDAL 2.1.3.
Ubuntugis unstable has updated QGIS to 2.14.17, so at least that one works at the moment, if qgis org is disabled in the sources list, and sudo apt autoremove has been run.
I suggest to reopen this issue, and think of a better way to interact with ubuntugis updates.

And yet again. ubuntugis-unstable rolled their version of GDAL to 2.2.2 on 23rd Nov. #17615

Is this currently an issue? If so I guess it should be reopened...
I have what looks like the same issue trying to install from http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly, but maybe I have the wrong dependency repo enabled (I did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable, but I'm not sure if that's right).

While trying to update to the expected QGIS 3, I faced the same issue.
Since Debian repo isn't updated yet, I tried ubuntugis (https://qgis.org/ubuntugis/) and received:
"gdal-abi-2-2-2 not installable
libgdal20 (>= 1.8.0) not installable"
I guess the issue is not fixed yet.
(Linux Mint 18.2 / Xenial)

I have the same issue.
This was off a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 / Xenial

have you added the ubuntugis repository too?
