I get the following error when trying to install QGIS 2.0.1.2 on Ubuntu 12 or Ubuntu 13

I'm using this tutorial: http://www.digital-geography.com/install-qgis-2-0-on-ubuntu/

- The following packages have unmet dependencies:

- qgis: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.15-0ubuntu20.1 is to be   

   installed

- Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.7.2-2ubuntu1 is to be installed

- Depends: libgdal1-1.7.0 but it is not going to be installed

- Depends: libgeos-c1 (>= 3.2.2) but 3.3.8-2~quantal1 is to be installed

- Depends: libqt4-network (>= 4:4.5.3) but 4:4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed

- Depends: libqt4-sql (>= 4:4.5.3) but 4:4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed

- Depends: libqt4-svg (>= 4:4.5.3) but 4:4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed

- Depends: libqt4-xml (>= 4:4.5.3) but 4:4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed

- Depends: libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.8.0) but 4:4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed

- Depends: libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.8.0) but 4:4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed

- Depends: libqtwebkit4 (>= 2.2~2011week36) but 2.2.1-4ubuntu1 is to be installed

- Depends: libspatialite3 (>= 2.4.0~rc2) but 3.1.0~rc2-2~quantal2 is to be installed

- Depends: libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.5.9) but 3.7.13-1 is to be installed

- Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.4.0) but 4.7.2-2ubuntu1 is to be installed

- Depends: qgis-providers (= 2.0.1-2+precise1) but 2.0.1-2+precise1 is to be installed

- Depends: qgis-common (= 2.0.1-2+precise1) but 2.0.1-2+precise1 is to be installed

After installing Ubuntu 13.04 I have less unmet dependencies:

    Depends: python-qgis-common (= 2.0.1-2 + precise1) but it is not installable

- Depends on: libqgis2.0.1 but it is not installable

- Depends on: sip-api-8.1 but it is not installable

- Qgis:

- Depends on: libgdal1-1.7.0 but it is not installable

- Depends on: libqgis2.0.1 but it is not installable

- Depends: but qgis-providers (= 2.0.1-2 + precise1) should not be installed

- Recommends: qgis-plugin-globe but it is not installable

- Qgis-plugin-grass:

- Depends on: libgdal1-1.7.0 but it is not installable

- Depends on: libqgis2.0.1 but it is not installable

- Depends on: grass641 but it is not installable

- E: Problems can not be corrected, you have held broken packages back.

May be you are doing some mistake.. I recommend you to follow the official website of Qgis to install it in Ubuntu 13.04.

I'm listing the way how to install:

1st way to install QGIS (preferred.)

First remove already added repositories which you tried to install Qgis:
- Execute this in your terminal: sudo software-properties-gtk and go to Other Software tab.
- Then remove those repositories that you added using your mentioned tutorial. Find names similar to http://qgis.org/debian and ubuntugis-unstable. Close the window.
- The execute this command in terminal to update your repository: sudo apt-get update

Now add the QGIS repository once again to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Do it by following these steps:
- Open terminal and execute:
```
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
```
- Add following lines at the last line:
```
deb     http://qgis.org/debian raring main

deb-src http://qgis.org/debian raring main
```
- Save the file and close the window.
- Execute following two commands to add public key of QGIS
```
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 47765B75

gpg --export --armor 47765B75 | sudo apt-key add -
```
- Update repository by executing following command:
```
sudo apt-get update
```

Now install QGIS by following these steps:

First remove already installed QGIS or any residual( and broken) packages if any:

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get -f install

sudo apt-get autoremove qgis

sudo apt-get --purge remove qgis

Install grass plugin:

sudo apt-get install grass

sudo apt-get install qgis-plugin-grass

Finally install QGIS:
```
sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis
```

2nd way to install *QGIS via Ubuntugis repository:*

You can also install QGIS by adding Ubuntugis repository. (_{The ubuntugis project provides newer versions of various FOSSGIS packages, QGIS being one of them.})

First remove http://qgis.org/debian lines from your /etc/apt/sources.list. 2nd step in my first method can help you how to remove.

Then executes these commands:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass

It should install without any problem. Reply if something goes wrong..
