The version of Gnu Radio you'll have from the official repos is going to 
be horribly out of date, which is part of the reason that Ettus offers
  a combined installation package for GR+UHD:

http://ettus-apps.sourcerepo.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki/GNURadio_Linux


So, I would do a:

sudo apt-get purge gnuradio gnuradio*  uhd uhd*

And then follow the instructions given above from the Ettus site, OR:

Or use PyBombs or build-gnuradio to install from source:
