Bug#742688: Plugins cannot be updated/installed

[Francesco Paolo Lovergine]

Package: qgis
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: important

Once updated to the current sid version, I'm not more able to update current
(python) plugins to new versions or install new plugins. That renders the program quite
unusable in many situations. It suggests verifying permissions on
$HOME/.qgis2/plugins/<directory> and other silly checks.
