I'm having trouble installing QGIS on Xenial.
`debian` release
When I try using the debian release (i.e. without ubuntugis dependencies) I get the following errors (please note there is no xenial release so I've used wily when setting up the sources.list):
~$ sudo apt install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

`ubuntugis` release
After failing with the debian release I've tried the ubuntugis release by adding the ubuntugis-unstable PPA (again I used the wily release of ubuntugis for consistency with the QGIS release):

Hopefully a release of QGIS for Xenial will be made available soon, but has anyone managed to install QGIS 2.14 on Xenial?
Best Answer
It looks like there actually is Xenial support in the debian repository and although I haven't tried the following solution myself I guess it is worth a try.
Before trying the following I would uninstall all previous qgis packages using
sudo apt-get remove qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grassand removedeb http://qgis.org/debian wily mainanddeb-src http://qgis.org/debian wily mainfrom/etc/apt/sources.list.EDIT To remove packages that are installed as automatic dependencies when installing qgis, run the command
sudo apt-get autoremoveafter running the above commands to remove them. END EDITThe following is adapted from qgis.org to include the
xenialkeyword.Add the following to your
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://qgis.org/debian xenial maindeb-src http://qgis.org/debian xenial mainthen execute:
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grassI'm very interested to hear if you get it working.
