I had the same problem, but, looking on the web, I found a solution. Simply, I installed SAGA from other repository (http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/70283/installing-saga-gis-2-1). Try the following commands from a command line: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:johanvdw/saga-gis sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install saga I hope it works.
