Right Micha! I now remember you posted that hint already last week. It somehow feels hackish to create a symlink to an old grass version while using the recommended combination of repositories [1, 2].
Nevertheless, I can confirm the hack works. I used a symlink to the available generic grass command: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/grass /usr/bin/grass70 thanks robert [1] http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#debian-ubuntu [2] snippet from my sources.list: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu xenial main deb http://qgis.org/ubuntugis xenial main Am Montag, 23.
