Broken dependency

[Peter186]

I couldn't install QGIS 3.10LTR on KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic), due to qgis-providers being dependent on qtbase-abi-5.9.5. This seems to be similar to #27468, with an earlier version.

(QGIS 3.12 installs OK from Flatpak, although I was hoping to try the LTR. Could that be made available through Flatpak, too?)

Thanks and regards

I tried again using 'deb https://qgis.org/ubuntu-nightly-ltr bionic main' and then again using 'deb https://qgis.org/ubuntu-ltr bionic main' and Synaptics Package Manager shows qgis as broken, with Properties.Dependencies stating "Conflicts: uim-qt3 / Recommends: qgis-plugin-grass / Suggests: gpsbabel / Conflicts: qgis". Apologies if I have missed something obvious here.

Thanks again and regards

I've educated myself a little about debian package management, and now appreciate that the recommends/suggests/conflicts information simply comes from the qgis control file. More relevant, Synaptics shows gdal-abi-2-2-3 in italics, and 'apt-cache show' describes it as purely virtual. I created a fake package (as per eclipse-sumo/sumo#3717) but qgis still shows as broken, as uim-qt3 also shows in italics. (At the moment, it is beyond me why it is a problem that a package that qgis conflicts with can't be loaded.)

@Peter186 tried to created a neon machine for testing, but installer always crashes towards the end.

Actually, the problem has been resolved. I don't recall exactly when, but a recent Neon update made changes to the Qt libraries, and QGIS3.10 now installs OK. Somebody has done something, and it has fixed the problem, so many thanks and regards.
