just upgraded my Kubuntu from 13.10 to 14.04 LTS and lost all plugins. Found out that "python-qgis-common" is not installed.

Tried to install it but was told that it depends on "sip-api-10.1" which cannot be installed. Searched the web and according to almost all ubuntu sites the "sip-api-10.1" is virtual package provided by "python-sip" which is installed (sip4 (4.15.5-1build1) trusty).

BTW, I also had problem with libspatialite3 - had to find libspatialite3_3.1.0~rc2-2_i386 on launchpad and manually install it.

Have 32bit Kubuntu, use standard QGIS repos:

deb http://qgis.org/debian trusty main deb-src http://qgis.org/debian trusty main

and have absolutely no idea what is wrong. I also performed autoclean after distro upgrade.

Do you know any solution of this situation?

    Having same issue in Ubuntu 14.04. Anxiously awaiting any responses. (Odd thing is that it worked in the 14.04 pre-release.) Also installing from Ubuntu Software center will not work either.

The package has been rebuild to solve this. Check again.

First add repositories from QGIS:

sudo su
echo deb     http://qgis.org/debian trusty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo deb-src http://qgis.org/debian trusty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
exit

Then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis

  • I was able to install all qgis components like this, but then get errors for gdal: "gdal_translate was compiled against GDAL 1.10 but current library version is 1.11" This also applies to gdal from the terminal. Any solution to this? –

  • I tried to fix this be removing gdal and reinstalling it. This bricked QGIS again. After that I tried with recompiling gdal from source: gis.stackexchange.com/a/21739/17399 which solved this problem. Now everything is running fine.

On Ubuntu 14.04, Python-sip-4.15.5 now provides sip-api-11.0. But python-qgis-common looks for sip-api-10.1. It thinks sip-api is not installed at all.

Sip-api-11.0 was released on the 18th March. Clearly, some programs relying on it have not been updated to reflect this change.

"..., all packages that depend on sip-api- or sip-py3api-* should be rebuilt to pick up new dependency names." - Dmitry Shachnev

Hopefully, this will be fixed soon.

    While this may be useful information, it is not a solution to the problem presented.
