Thread: postgis-update introduced dependency for postgresql-13
Hi, i already wrote to the pgsql-general mailing list, there the recommendation was to contact the package maintainers. https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAAV-988tVaJi4oRe0WxUkA-6WkiawsgA_XWX93LoiGEtMuRxKA%40mail.gmail.com It seems like that the last postgis update has introduced a dependency to postgresql-13. More details here: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAAV-989nKHSVeqVaCvt5eikU8sSNNX_wkf7k8J8dyGxqxYc40A%40mail.gmail.com Is there any reason for this dependency? Best regards, Hubert

Compare: $ sudo apt install postgis Die folgenden NEUEN Pakete werden installiert: postgis postgis-doc postgresql-13 postgresql-13-postgis-3 postgresql-13-postgis-3-scripts postgresql-client-13 $ sudo apt install --no-install-recommends postgis Die folgenden NEUEN Pakete werden installiert: postgis I think we can change that to "Recommends: postgresql-postgis", will do so for the next version.
