Description

I did an update of 2.16 and got this error. The system spatialite is v7 but qgis-providers still references v5

The libspatialite.so.5 dependency probably comes from something qgis depends on which is outdated for some reason. It shouldn't be in xenial at all.

#2 Updated by Gavin Fleming over 8 years ago

The problem arose after I upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04.

I have now managed to install QGIS (no problem with qgis-providers anymore) after I switched to ubuntugis-unstable and also purged all potential spatialite dependents and reinstalled.

Now QGIS starts but won't load gdal-tools [1] nor Processing [2]

I'm not seeing any option to reinstall or upgrade these plugins so I'm not sure how to solve this.

[1]

Unable to load GdalTools plugin. 
The required "osgeo [python-gdal]" module is missing. 
Install it and try again.

Note: I actually do have python-gdal installed

[2]

Couldn't load plugin 'processing'

Still some indirect dependency that still requires libspatialite.so.5

#4 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 8 years ago

  • Category set to Build/Install

I have seen that before, and I had a messed/mixed up packages. I removed anything that was related or a dependency of qgis or other spatial packages, re-installed and the problem was gone.
