Re: PostGIS 2.1 removed from Debian Wheezy 7.6 Backports

Hi all,

I noticed this morning that the "postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.1" package
previously available to my wheezy 7.6 backports images is no longer
available.

Could anyone confirm this and/or recommend a workaround other than
compiling from source (this is not very workable in my current
configuration management-based deployment setup)?

Thanks!,

Hi,

does the problem persist after "apt-get update"?

There were some problems with the wheezy build (it depended on some
backport package which was unnecessary) so it was recompiled.

Christoph,

Yes - it does persist.

root(at)qdb92-test:~# apt-get update
[...successful update run...]
root(at)qdb92-test:~# apt-get install postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.1
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.1'

Is it possible that adding the apt.postgresql.org repo and key would fix
the issue, or could that create dependency/version issues between my
current deployments (PostgreSQL 9.1 with PostGIS 2.1.3)?

Uh, what do you mean by "adding the apt.postgresql.org repo"? Where
else did you get the package from before?

We don't offer 2.1.3 anymore, the current version is now 2.1.4. (It
would be nice if our repo could also host older package versions, but
so far we don't have software for that.)

The current state of the package on wheezy/amd64 looks like this:

# apt-cache policy postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.1
postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.1:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.1.4+dfsg-1.pgdg70+3
Version table:
2.1.4+dfsg-1.pgdg70+3 0
500 http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ wheezy-pgdg/main amd64 Packages

What does yours look like?

Apparently I was sorely off-base - I'd been sourcing mine from the
http.debian.org repo, which apparently has changed.

My apologies.
