Q:

dist-upgrade in ubuntu 14.04 uninstalled qgis and results in unmet dependencies

I did an dist-upgrade to ubuntu 14.04 and it uninstalled QGIS and related packages. I tried to re-install it and I receive the following error about unmet dependencies.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:  qgis : Depends:
libgdal.so.1-1.11.1 but it is not installable
        Recommends: qgis-plugin-grass but it is not going to be installed
        Recommends: qgis-plugin-globe but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken
packages.

A:

QGIS version in the repos of Ubuntu is older that qgis.org version. For this reason it is preferable to install with repos of qgis.org. Please, see my answer in:
