Hi all I've just spent an hour install qgis on a new Mint linux (saucy) box. Here is the tale...
I was using the qgis repo (because there's no ubuntugis for saucy at the moment) and getting very weird behaviour. Installing the python-qgis package removed the qgis package. And vice versa. I eventually removed everything python, sip, gdal and qgis related and eventually it all installed. Great. I think that problem was I did have the ubuntugis repo in there at one point, and it may have been getting incompatible gdal bits from somewhere. But then I ran it, and qgis python couldn't find sip so no python support. Python from the command line couldn't "import sip". I checked the package dependencies - it was all there.... Then I noticed I was running from a virtualenv.... Tried from a fresh shell, and all was working - qgis and python in perfect harmony. I can now get mapping! So I send this as a reminder that if people are having weird python problems, check they aren't running from a virtualenv.
