Description

qgis-plugin-grass requires grass641 which is not available in any debian repo.(stable, testing, unstable, and experimental).

Details:

I am using debian-cut (wheezy) for my corei5 64bit laptop. I added following debs:
deb http://qgis.org/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://qgis.org/debian wheezy main
and followed the described steps on download page of qgis.org.

I successfully installed qgis and python-qgis. But qgis-plugin-grass cannot be installed.

My problem is solved by shifting to nightly build of wheezy but I am reporting this bug to fix in above debs too.

History

#1 Updated by David Forrest over 11 years ago

I see this issue too.

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

...

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 qgis-plugin-grass : Depends: grass641 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
...

My configuration is the same as Faisal's above: Debian wheezy with the qgis.org lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list

My workaround was to rebuild the package using my system:

apt-get build-dep qgis-plugin-grass
apt-get -b source qgis-plugin-grass
dpkg -i qgis-plugin-grass_1.8.0~wheezy1_amd64.deb

During compilation I noticed a lot of messages like these:

Hello, bug triage...

on Debian Stable (Jessie) and Testing (Stretch), QGIS can compile without any problem with the latest version of GRASS6 for Jessie and GRASS7 for Stretch.

I am closing this bug !
