[GIS] Installation of QGIS 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 fails to install qgis-plugin-grass because of uninstallable grass760 dependency

grassqgisUbuntuubuntugis

I have used the instructions here marked Tested 29/06/2018 to install QGIS 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 16.04. While QGIS installs nicely I get an error on installing qgis-plugin-grass. Subsequently the Grass tools listed in the processing window all throw errors.

Upon installation I get the following error…

The following packages have unmet dependencie: qgis-plugin-grass :
Depends; grass760 but it is not installable.  
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have tried reinstalling using aptitude but this did not make any difference. How do I install the grass760 dependencies and qgis-plugin-grass?

If you stick to the ubuntugis-unstable ppa (with nothing from qgis.org in your sources list), you should be able to install QGIS 3.4.6 solely from the ppa.

BTW QGIS 3.4.4 is not the latest QGIS-ltr version; I wonder where you have that from. Maybe you should run apt-cache policy qgis to see what is available for you.
