Unable to install QGIS on Ubuntu 24.04 after upgrade from 23.04

[ranjanport]

What is the bug or the crash?

While installing QGIS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS the apt throws some error which is listed in the context. I have upgrade by system from Ubuntu-23.04 to Ubuntu-24.04-LTS and Tried to install the qgis but there might be some issue with the installation.

Steps to reproduce the issue

sudo apt install gnupg software-properties-common

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/qgis-archive-keyring.gpg https://download.qgis.org/downloads/qgis-archive-keyring.gpg

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qgis.sources

Add these lines:

sudo apt install qgis qgis-plugin-grass

Any workaround for this, Because I am really in need of doing work and can't able to do so. Could someone please help me out. @agiudiceandrea

[agiudiceandrea]

@ranjanport, questions and request for help should go to the qgis-user mailing list at https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user or other support forums such as https://gis.stackexchange.com/. GitHub issues are for bug reports and suggestions for new features.

[aloboa]

Could this be related to https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/57603 ?

@agiudiceandrea Are these 2 issues not considered installation bugs? @ranjanport, if you get the issue solved through advices in the suggested forums, please report back here the links.

[ranjanport]

@aloboa The mentioned issue #57603 is similar to my case the only difference is the Ubuntu version mine is 24.04. Also, this is probably some of the issue within the post installation script or maybe something else. But I am still unable to resolve this at my end. Also, I have tried installing this into fresh Ubuntu 24.04-LTS installation there it works fine. @agiudiceandrea This may not be installation issue as the procedure to install the QGIS is as clear as water, so, I think you might be able to reproduce this issue once you have an upgrade transition. Also, I have searched a lot of contents on web and found this as true, that most of the people have faced these kind of issue when they make an upgrade.

[aloboa]

In my case, solved with

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/qgis*
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

then sudo apt install qgis

ref. https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/52433

@ranjanport hopefully it works for you too.

[ranjanport]

@ranjanport hopefully it works for you too. No, @aloboa It does not worked for me have already tried this and wasted my 1 day. Now, the situation is that I can't reinstall my OS as there is lots of dependencies already installed. And Can't be able to install QGIS to do my primary work on my project.

It would be great if there is a fix from the @Qgis team is provided to resolve this issue.

[gregorywaynepower]

@ranjanport You may have some luck running qgis via conda so you can keep the dependencies separate from other packages on your machine.

[agiudiceandrea]

You can also install QGIS using Flatpak https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#flatpak or Spack https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#spack as indicated on the QGIS website.

[Antoviscomi]

@ranjanport have you by any chance installed Grass externally from QGIS installation? if so, try to unistall/purge Grass then retry

sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt install qgis qgis-plugin-grass

I don't know if Grass 8.3 is already supported by QGIS 3.38.3 @agiudiceandrea there might be some kind of incompatibility issues correct me if i'm wrong

[agiudiceandrea]

I don't know if Grass 8.3 is already supported by QGIS 3.38.3 @agiudiceandrea there might be some kind of incompatibility issues correct me if i'm wrong

QGIS 3.38 and QGIS LTR 3.34 use GRASS-GIS 8.4.0 on Windows (OSGeo4W).

[Antoviscomi]

QGIS 3.38 and QGIS LTR 3.34 use GRASS-GIS 8.4.0 on Windows (OSGeo4W).

then the same version in Ubuntu Noble I suppose, in my Ubuntu Jammy the higher available Grass version it seems 7.8.7
