Got it working on intrepid, now that there’s a qgis available. Just changed the first line to:

echo ‘deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu intrepid main’ >> /etc/apt/sources.list

I might have had to make the libgdal change mentioned above. I can’t recall.

I would not recommend adding that additional repository. Gdal 1.5 will not work properly with grass 6.3 and Qgis.

I had to change libgdal-dev into libgdal1-dev to make it work. Also I removed ‘–force-yes’ as I wouldn’t know why this is necessary.
Thanks for the post.

I just installed via these repositories. It looks like the debs don’t reference all dependancies. I had to install python-sip4 and python-qt4 to get qgis to stop complaining about not being able to run python. ( apt-get install python-qt4 python-sip4 ) Just an FYI for anyone else who may run into this.

Thanks Matt for the new repositories and your Blog, especially the Python Software for Spatial applications.
