Thread: BUG #8463: Packaging problem with postgis rpms
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 8463 Logged by: Kriton Kyrimis Email address: kyrimis@alumni.princeton.edu PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4 Operating system: Scientific Linux 6.4 Description: (I am submitting this report here, as I assume that the rpms downloaded from yum.postgresql.org are built by postgresql and not by postgis.) The latest release of the postgis2_92* rpms (version 2.0.4) introduced a new package, postgis2_92-client, containing, among other things, the postgis shared library. This creates the problem that, after updating an existing system, the shared libraries disappear, and postgis stops working, producing the error "postgis2_92-client-2.0.4-1" whenever a query involving postgis is executed. At the very least, the postgis2_92 package should depend on the postgis2_92-client package, so that updating the former will also install the latter, thus avoiding breaking existing systems.
Hi, Thanks for the report. I created http://wiki.pgrpms.org/ticket/141 to track this bug. There is another critical ticket pending for RHEL 6 packages, so expect the new package pretty soon.
