postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 failing to install on debian 7.6

Howdy,

Just this morning postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 failed to install on debian wheezy. And I received the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 : Depends: liblwgeom-2.1.4 (>= 2.1.2) but it is not going to be installed
         Recommends: postgis but it is not going to be installed


On some investigation I noticed postgis updated the liblwgeom dependency to liblwgeom-2.1.4. Folks over at the postgis irc channel suggested that maybe not all dependencies are shipping with postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 package.

Cheers,

Thanks for the report. This is an issue with the pgdg packaging, yes.
For some reason, postgis got built against a package from the backports,
so if you don't have those in your sources, installation fails. I'm
investigating.

In the mean time, installing libjson-c2 from the backports as outlined
on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/a/26151320) should be just fine.

This issue has been resolved and the newest pgapt postgis package should
now be installable on a plain wheezy+pgapt system (i.e. without backports).

If you did that, you might want to consider removing libjson-c2 and the
backport from your sources again, now.
