Thread: problem with postgis package

Hi,

This is a known and widely reported issue :( I am working with upstream
to fix this issue. Bad news is, we need to update GDAL in EPEL in order
to get some stuff working, but not sure how we can do it :(

Regards, Devrim

We have the same issue for apt.postgresql.org. We thought about
several ways around the issues, but utimately figured we need to
provide both gdal and geos backports, so that's what we did.

I was trying to avoid that -- but agreed, that seemed to be the only
way. Updated GDAL to 1.9.3 in our repo. Pushing out new RPMs shortly.
