Thread: Dependencies of postgis 2.1.5 for wheezy

Dependencies of postgis 2.1.5 for wheezy

From

Hi,

Upgrading postgis from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5 on a Debian wheezy server using
the wheezy-pgdg repository fails due to an unavailable dependency on
libjson-c2.

In version 2.1.4+dfsg-1.pgdg70+3 there is no such dependency,
in version 2.1.5+dfsg-1~88.git69d0152.pgdg70+1 a dependency on
libjson-c2 (>= 0.10) appeared, but that package is unavailable.

Is this intentional?

Thanks for the notice. No, this isn't intentional.

As a quick fix you can install libjson-c2 from wheezy-backports. If you
don't want to do that, you'll have to wait for a real fix. (Which
shouldn't take more than a couple days.)

(I'm sorry, I didn't uncover this bug. I even tried installing on a
wheezy box, but for some reason I also happen to have some backports
installed on that test box. Including libjson-c2.)

Hi,

upon investigation, this was a deficiency in the dependency resolver
used on the build host. Somehow it preferred installing the
wheezy-backports version of libjson-c-dev when the plain wheezy
version of libjson0-dev would have worked as well.

Build-Depends: [...]
 libjson-c-dev | libjson0-dev (>= 0.9~),

I've worked around this by removing libjson-c-dev from the wheezy
source. I've just promoted an updated postgis version that includes
this fix.
