Worked like a charm! Thanks. I chose to use Synaptic as it is the 'ubuntu way'.
I did a search for "qgis" in synaptic and selected everything that came up installed to mark for complete removal. I applied that and had to restart (on 11.04 natty) because without the restart, when I went to install the latest packages it gave an error saying certain qgis companion packages couldn't be found. All is well now.
