Description
I recently tried to install QGIS 3.4.2 with the ubuntugis-unstable bindings (from the apt repository) on Ubuntu 18.04 and had problems both with the install and finally running qgis. When installing, the install failed due to missing the dependency on gdal-abi-2-2-3 even though libgdal20, which provides gdal-abi-2-3-0, is installed. I "fixed" this problem following some suggestions online by using equivs-build to generate a package that provides gdal-abi-2-2-3 and depends on libgdal20, installing this package and then installing QGIS 3.4.2 from the apt repository.
However, after installing QGIS 3.4.2, it crashes every time I try to start it with the following message:
$ qgis
QGIS died on signal 11Could not attach to process. If your uid matches the uid of the target
process, check the setting of /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope, or try
again as the root user. For more details, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf
ptrace: Operation not permitted.

I tried starting qgis as root and it dies with the same signal 11, but with a better backtrace:
$ sudo qgis

Did you have it installed from qgis repo? I had issues in the past switching from one repo to another.
Another alternative is to use flatpak.

Hi David,
I'm running QGIS 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 18.04. I use the repo for Ubuntu (https://qgis.org/ubuntu) and Debian (https://qgis.org/debian) instead of the ubuntugis-unstable one. I switched from using the ubuntugis-unstable repo since 3.0 because I encountered problems installing and updating QGIS using said repo.
Kindly try to install QGIS using the Ubuntu and/or Debian repos as shown here: https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#debian-ubuntu and see if you still encounter problems. If you need to install QGIS with ubuntugis-unstable dependencies, you can try using the https://qgis.org/ubuntugis repo. You can also try flatpak as suggested by Saber.
Lastly, may I know if you have specific reasons for using the ubuntugis-unstable repo for installing QGIS (like using said repo for installing GRASS and other geospatial libraries)? I also used to utilize that repo for installing GRASS, etc.
Sincerely,
Ben Hur

Merde! I have figured out the problem that was causing QGIS to crash. I had both the normal qgis repository and the qgis repository with ubuntugis-unstable bindings in my repository list and somehow the normal qgis repository was activated, when I really wanted the ubuntugis-unstable bindings repository activated. Fixing this and updating fixed my problem with qgis crashing. It is strange (and perhaps a bug?) that apt allowed me to install the version of qgis from the normal repository even though I had incompatible packages installed from ubuntugis-unstable, but mixing the two is an error on my part.
However, AFAIK, installing qgis still requires making the fake package gdal-abi-2-2-3 that depends on libgdal20 because the current version of libgdal20 in ubuntugis-unstable provides gdal-abi-2-3-0 and not gdal-abi-2-2-3 as QGIS demands. This should probably be fixed.
Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion!

Either use the qgis.org/debian (or ubuntu - which is a link) and nothing from ubuntugis OR the qgis.org/ubuntugis repository and ubuntugis-unstable OR nothing from qgis.org and ubuntugis only. Each configuration should work without any fake packages - if you need this you're probably trying to use qgis.org/debian with GDAL from ubuntugis, which is wrong.

Now I am using the combination qgis.org/ubuntugis repository and ubuntugis-unstable and I still see qgis demanding gdal-abi-2-2-3 and libgdal20 providing gdal-abi-2-3-0. As far as I can tell, these two are not compatible. Am I missing something?

No, I was. Ubuntu meanwhile updated ffmpeg, which makes ubuntugis' openscenegraph (for osgearth used for the globeplugin) and saga (used for processing) uninstallable. This is automatically resolved by using the ubuntu versions - which in turn introduce dependencies to ubuntu's GDAL 2.2. So QGIS is indeed currently built with GDAL 2.2 for bionic.

OK, thanks for clarifying. Given the trick I used to force qgis to install, is my installation healthy or will I have problems? I have verified that qgis starts and opens a couple of layers, but perhaps I never used functionality that relies on gdal or saga, etc.

Depends on the layers - GDAL is used for all raster and most file based vector files - so you probably already did use GDAL. saga is only used if you trigger SAGA algorithms in processing.

But QGIS ubuntugis is currently broken.
The QGIS ubuntugis packages were published on Dec 7th, and later that day the ubuntugis ppa updated from GDAL 2.2.3 to GDAL 2.3.0. So the QGIS ubuntugis packages for bionic will not work until the next point release.
Strangely the ubuntugis people did not upgrade xenial and trusty, so those packages still work.

To be clear, I have installed the Qgis version (3.4.2) of the qgis package, not the ubuntugis-unstable version, which is still in the 2.x series. It is curious that ubuntugis-unstable has not built a more recent version of qgis.

Not really. Our package used to be in ubuntugis - but we stopped putting them there when we started two lines of releases (latest & ltr), because ubuntugis (like debian and ubuntu) can only have one version of QGIS. The qgis build in ubuntugis with only ltr was restarted later by others.
