Description

Hi. After an update on qgis packages (provided by Quantum GIS stable repository), the Quantum GIS has been removed from the OS.

When trying to re-install it, the following message bellow appears. It seems there is a problem with some of the package version. The installer looks for qgis-common and qgis-providers (wheezy1.8.0), but apt and aptitude find version 2.0.1 in your repos:

root@Infoway:/etc/apt# apt-get install qgis

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qgis : Depends: qgis-providers (= 1.8.0-3~wheezy1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: qgis-common (= 1.8.0-3~wheezy1) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: qgis-plugin-globe 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

Right now I removed QuantumGIS repository from my computer and I am working using the stable repository provided by Debian, which packages version 1.7 (wroclaw) and it is working perfectly, but there are features only available at 1.8 that my works depends on.

When trying to install packages manually and individually here's what I get:

  1. apt-get install qgis-providers-common

History

#1 Updated by Mantas Kriaučiūnas over 10 years ago

Only QGis 1.8.0-3~wheezy1 AMD64 packages are missing in http://qgis.org/debian/pool/main/q/
Please restore QGis 1.8.0-3~wheezy1 AMD64 packages in debian repo

#2 Updated by Guilherme Ferrari over 10 years ago

Correct. Due the package changes, Debian understands that as an update. The result is the qgis package removal. It seems not only AMD64, but also i386 has the same problem. Please, check http://qgis.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/binary-i386/Packages file and you may notice the following: qgis package depends on qgis-common (= 1.8.0-3~wheezy1). However the version present in qgis repos is 2.0.1~wheezy1. This conflict breaks the dependency chain. Or requiriments for qgis is changed to ">= 1.8.0-3~wheezy1" so 2.0.1 is accepted OR the 1.8 packages need to be restores. Please notice that qgis-common is just an example. It seems there are others unmet dependencies (such as qgis-providers, among others). Thanks a lot.

#3 Updated by Hugh Pumphrey over 10 years ago

The breakdown of which packages are at 2.0.1 and which still at 1.8.0 is as follows, as far as I can tell:

Still at 1.8.0-3:

python-qgis
libqgis-dev
qgis-mapserver
qgis-sqlanywhere
qgis
qgis-plugin-globe
qgis-plugin-grass
qgis-providers

Gone up to 2.0.1_wheezy1:

python-qgis-common
qgis-plugin-globe-common
qgis-plugin-grass-common
qgis-providers-common
qgis-api-doc

Vanished:

libqgis1.8.0

#4 Updated by Guilherme Ferrari over 10 years ago

Please, does anyone knows if packaging for Quantum GIS for Debian (i386 architecture) is discontinued? Currently qgis, qgis-common and qgis-providers 2.0.1 packages are essentially missing in the repositories for wheezy i386. Unmet dependencies also make it impossible to install previous 1.8 version.
