<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I am trying to import a feature class from a file geodatabase (version 10 or greater) into PostGIS. After installing the FileGDB driver, I was able to successfully import a feature class which was in
the EPSG 4326 spatial reference system.</div>

<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">However, I created another file geodatabase and reprojected the feature class to the BC Albers projection (EPSG: 3005) and then attempted to import the new fgdb again and it failed with no error. My attempts:</div>
