Description

In trying to re-install QGIS from apt-get I see the following error message:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qgis : Depends: qgis-providers (= 1.9.90+git20120208+2cea349~oneiric1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: qgis-common (= 1.9.90+git20120208+2cea349~oneiric1) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: qgis-plugin-grass but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: python-qgis but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried installing these dependencies independently and get similar message when trying to "build up" from each package.

Build ran out of diskspace. Next build will probably fix this. Please reopen only if the problem persists for several days.

Hello,
The problem is back. Trying to install the latest qgis nightly on debian wheezy throws out broken dependencies:

Unfortunately, the qgis repos have a version with a different date stamp. Perhaps in the future the dependencies could be made less fragile?
