Where did QGIS go?

[jmarius]

Does anyone know why QGIS is no longer available in Hardy? A google search brings a link that claims package is not available in the distro: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/science/qgis. The cached page shows QGIS v0.8.1 in the universe repo.

Not sure why it's no longer in the repos, but there are a couple of PPA's that have the latest and greatest QGIS (although they were compiled for Gutsy).

The gutsy version launchpad has dependency issues in when used in Hardy:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu/dists/gutsy

There is no workaround yet.

This is really very bad. I use mainly Ubuntu with QGIS. Is there any preview for a Hardy release?

I've had to go back to Gutsy because of this.
I sure hope they get it resolved soon.

Now have a workaround for Hardy.

Once the Hardy in stall is complete, find a gutsy cd and use synaptic to "Add CD ROM" or enable the Gutsy repositories.
Install the "libgsl0" from gutsy. This does not appear to conflict with Hardy.

Disable the gutsy repositories, then enable:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timlinux/ubuntu gutsy main

Install Qgis in the normal way.

Cheers

After the upgrade to hardy I installed the .deb file from

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/libgsl0/1.9-3

and then

sudo apt-get install qgis

works fine, and qgis runs fine.

edit: I am using the gutsy repository for qgis.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu gutsy main
from
http://download.qgis.org/downloads.rhtml

Good news everyone. There is a hardy repo now:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu hardy main

Good news everyone. There is a hardy repo now:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu hardy main

Good news indeed! Thank you.

Many thanks for this.

I have added the following line to the end of my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu hardy main

However, when I fetch updates with adept_manager (kde) or apt-get I get an error when trying to read the repository:

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu...86/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

Not sure whether this is a problem with my Hardy install or with the repository... any ideas?
