[postgis-users] Urgent help needed, messed up my postgis 2.1 server by installing latest QGIS pacake

[Willem Buitendyk]

Hi all,

I'm currently sitting on a plane having made a huge mistake yesterday.  I
have a server that runs constantly, supplying data to clients on a daily
basis.  The server is Ubuntu 12.04 and I had successfully installed and
have been running PostGIS 2.1 and Postgresql 9.3 for the last 3 months.
 Prior to leaving for my vacation I thought it would be great to install
QGIS so I could remotely view my database.  The problem is the QGIS install
altered my postgis and libgdal1 dependencies.

Here are the commands I issued that got me into this mess:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install qgis pythin-qgis

sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis

sudo apt-get install qgis

sudo apt-get install python-qgis

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 47765B75

gpg --export --armor 47765B75 | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis qgis-plugin-grass

sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8


I am uncertain how to proceeed because I remember something similar
happening years ago (irony of ironies) and it ended up corrupting my Ubuntu
server when I tried to repair.


I'm looking for some sage advise to correct this a painless as possible.
 Is it safe to perform an apt-get autoremove?

Please help an overstressed dad enjoy his vacation trip to Disney with his
wife and kids.  I promise I won't go installing packages all willy nilly in
the future.


Thanks


Willem
