Currently, the version of QGIS that is in the repo has a problem with the dependency GDAL. While the result does not render the entire application unable to run, it does prevent key functionality from working. Upon running, these errors appear:
Unable to load GdalTools plugin. The required "osgeo [python-gdal]" module is missing. Install it and try again.
Couldn't load plugin 'processing'
ImportError: No module named osgeo
