Description
I am trying to install QGIS 2.18 on Debian unstable/sid through the Debian packages on http://qgis.org/debian/. The installation of the qgis-providers package (a dependency of the qgis package) fails with the following error:
qgis-providers : Depends: libqca2-plugin-ossl but it is not installableThe libqca2-plugin-ossl package indeed doesn't exist anymore. It was replaced by the libqca2-plugins package in Debian sid.

Already fixed in the nightlies. The release packages will not change until the next point release.

So until 2.18.17 people on Debian unstable/sid cannot install QGIS 2.18 using packages on qgis.org/debian. That's a bit of a shame :)

Correct. See note on https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#debian-ubuntu. What's the problem with installing the nightlies instead? You're using unstable anyway.

I am using Debian unstable, but I don't want to use QGIS unstable :) The nightlies are QGIS 2.99, no? I want to use QGIS 2.18 on Debian unstable.
Thanks for your responses.

Depends on what repository you choose - there are nightlies of master, but also of the two release branches. See right below the note on https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#debian-ubuntu

Oh you mean https://qgis.org/debian-nightly-release/. I had missed that. I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot!
