[Bug 532711] [NEW] Please backport postgis_1.4.0-2 from Lucid

[Morten Kjeldgaard]

Public bug reported:

On karmic, postgis has a dependency on postgresql 8.3, but the default
postgresql for karmic is 8.4. The reason is that postgis was not yet
compatible with 8.4 at the time of karmic's release.

However, now there is a version of postgis (1.4.0-2) available from
Debian (and Lucid) that is intended for postgresql-8.4. I have compiled
it under karmic and it is running without problems.

Archive-admin, please invoke your magic script and allow postgis_1.4-2
to enter karmic-backports.

Another geo-related package is osm2pgsql, and it has a dependency on
postgresql-8.3-postgis_1.3.5. That packaging of that needs to be
modified to fix the dependency. I will upload it to karmic-backports as
soon as this one appears.

** Affects: karmic-backports
     Importance: Undecided

** Changed in: karmic-backports
       Status: New => Confirmed
