You're right, I modified the instructions in the PPA page [1] to
configure the PPA and install the necessary packages to run Checkbox.

> Anyway, yes there was a conflict. I had to uninstall those packages in
order to proceed. It seems to me this is a bug; a conflict should arise,
and it should tell me what to uninstall.

We'll try to fix this! We usually don't run into this kind of issues
because we use Checkbox for hardware certification, which means we
usually install Checkbox on a freshly installed hardware (and usually,
if we have to test the same hardware again later, we start off clean and
install a fresher or updated version of Ubuntu).

> Secondly, I installed checkbox-converged package and from it ran
checkbox-gui.

checkbox-converged does not provide a checkbox-gui tool, so if you ran 
checkbox-gui, it ran the same one as you previously used.
Instead, just launch the dash (by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard) 
and search for “Checkbox Converged”. You should be able to launch it from there.

If you want to run it from the command line, you can run the following
command:

    qmlscene --settings=/usr/share/checkbox-converged/settings.json $@
/usr/share/checkbox-converged/checkbox-touch.qml


Hope all this helps!
