Postgis 2.1.7 upgrade fails - Mailing list pgsql-pkg-yum

Hi,

I have a PostgreSQL 9.4.1 database with Postgis 2.1.5. I noticed there was an update for Postgis to 2.1.7.

I tried to update, but it fails:

$ rpm -qa | grep postgis2
postgis2_94-client-2.1.7-1.rhel6.x86_64
postgis2_94-2.1.7-1.rhel6.x86_64

$ psql
# \dx

# alter extension postgis update;
ERROR:  could not open extension control file "/usr/pgsql-9.4/share/extension/postgis.control": No such file or

There are other relevant files in this directory however (and also two *.control files):

How can I update Postgis correctly?

Thanks and keep up all the good work making all these different packages available.

Additional question: can I safely remove all the old *2.0.*–2.1.7* files?
