Description
On upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 qgis stops loading, the launcher gets stuck at 'Setting up GUI' strace and gdb indicate something to do with X. Along with QGIS lot's of other applications fail:
- konquerer
- qt designer
- eric4
- texmaker
The problem is actually a package that was upgrading during the dist-upgrade. It has yet to be identified but the list of potential bad packages is attached.
Plan is isolate the package and submit the issue to the appropriate developers. In the mean time we'll need to warn Intrepid users to remove the package.
Note: may not apply to all machines.

These are the packages installed on my system where QGIS will not run

I've attached my package list for comparison. Although perhaps we need to have package version numbers factored into the mix...

This seems to be resolvable by doing:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libqt3-headers libqt3-mt libqt3-mt-dev uim-qt3
I believe specifically doing:
sudo apt-get remove --purge uim-qt3
should resolve the issue but needs to be verified.
Packages that need testing, to determine if they break qgis.
