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:
 python-qgis : Depends: python-qt4 (>= 4.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  • I think this might be because not all of the packages requested are present in the repository. It's happened to me using the package manager, if you wait a day and then try again you might have better luck. N.

  • Then I'm stuck I'm afraid. If you try installing QGIS using the package manager do you get the 'Partial Download' warning?

Which repository are you using? You might want to add the following to you /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://qgis.org/debian-nightly precise main
deb-src http://qgis.org/debian-nightly precise main

After that, update your system

apt-get update

Next, add the qgis public key to our package manager's key ring

gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv 1F9ADD375CA44993
gpg –export –armor 1F9ADD375CA44993 | sudo apt-key add -

Then try installing again.

sudo apt-get install python-qgis
