Thread: PostGIS breakage on libgdal in Ubuntu
Folks, Currently apt.postgresql.org ships a postgresql-9.4-postgis-2.1 which depends on a libgdal1 which you also ship. However, this libgdal1 will not install on Ubuntu Trusty because it is incompatible with the supporting geo libraries it needs. Is there a reason why the pgdg postgis doesn't just depend on the libgdal1h which ships with Ubuntu? That would fix the issue neatly. As it is, it's not possible to install PostGIS+9.4 using pgdg packages on Ubuntu. Is this something which is different on Debian vs. Ubuntu, and that's the reason for the breakage? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

Maybe this issue has been addressed without me realizing, but: pgapt currently doesn't ship libgdal for trusty.

For precise and wheezy, we had to back-port libgdal to work with newer postgis versions. This shouldn't be necessary on trusty. Regards Markus
