Thread: postgis update from 2.5 to 3
Hello,
i tried to upgrade a test-system from postgis 2.5 to 3 and had a little bit of trouble. Just wanted to let you know about that and ask if my actions were okay or if can do anything different when upgrading the live-system.
As always i wanted to install the newer version beside the current one and then do the extension upgrade in postgres. Problem is that installing the package "postgresql-10-postgis-3-scripts" tries to overwrite some files already provided by " postgresql-10-postgis-2.5-scripts":

1. Removing all 2.5-packages, then installing 3 was one solution, but "ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE;" afterwards wasn't possible as it complained about the missing 2.5-scripts-folder
2. Installing postgis-3(-scripts) with "-o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite"" was successful and i could finish the upgrade with "ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE;" and "SELECT PostGIS_Extensions_Upgrade();"
Is this a packaging-bug, everything working as expected or did i mess up?

Michael

Packaging bug. I thought I had tested that, but apparently I had tested something else. I wonder how I missed that given that postgresql-10-postgis-3 does depend on postgresql-10-postgis-3-scripts now, and same for the -2.5 packages. Maybe the problem is only with older packages. Which versions of the -2.5 and -3 packages exactly did you use? Thanks for reporting, Christoph

Interesting... I would have thought that upgrading didn't need the old
files.

After that i reverted to the snapshot i made before and tried option 2.

That's the workaround I would have suggested, yes.

Packaging bug. I thought I had tested that, but apparently I had
tested something else. I wonder how I missed that given that
postgresql-10-postgis-3 does depend on postgresql-10-postgis-3-scripts
now, and same for the -2.5 packages. Maybe the problem is only with
older packages.
Which versions of the -2.5 and -3 packages exactly did you use?
Well i always try to update asap so before i had:
ii postgresql-10-postgis-2.5 2.5.3+dfsg-2.pgdg100+1
ii postgresql-10-postgis-2.5-scripts 2.5.3+dfsg-2.pgdg100+1
ii postgresql-10-postgis-2.5-scripts 2.5.3+dfsg-2.pgdg100+1
and now
ii postgresql-10-postgis-3 3.0.0+dfsg-2~exp1.pgdg100+1
ii postgresql-10-postgis-3-scripts 3.0.0+dfsg-2~exp1.pgdg100+1
ii postgresql-10-postgis-3-scripts 3.0.0+dfsg-2~exp1.pgdg100+1
Thanks for reporting,
Christoph
No problem, if i need to find a workaround for myself and nothing comes up from the depth of the web i like to somehow let people know.

It will likely take until next week, however. Christoph

I'm wondering if my current installation woes are the same as these one, I'm trying
to include both 2.5 and 3.0 in a Docker image, and I get the following error
message:
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/postgresql-11-postgis-3-scripts_3.0.0+dfsg-2~exp1.pgdg100+1_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/postgresql/11/applications/shp2pgsql-gui.desktop',
which is also in package postgresql-11-postgis-2.5-scripts 2.5.3+dfsg-3.pgdg100+1
The -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" works ok for me for now,
Kind regards,
Feike Steenbergen
