<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
Last year I wrote up some PostGIS installation instructions for Ubuntu based on the PostgreSQL APT repository:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS21UbuntuPGSQL93Apt">http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS21UbuntuPGSQL93Apt</a><br>
<br>
These worked great for a while, but seems to have stopped working with Ubuntu 14.04.<br>
<br>
I know there was a thread back at the end of January discussing the version of GDAL that would work with PostGIS (1.9 / 1.10) , but if nothing else, here's an update on the installation error messages:<br>
<br>
--When running this on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 VM - with no QGIS installed (thanks Stephen), here are the messages that I get:<br>
<br>
After running this command:<br>
<br>
<b>sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3 postgresql-9.3-postgis pgadmin3 postgresql-contrib</b><br>
<br>
I get the message: <br>
<br>
<i>Package postgresql-9.3-postgis is not available, but is referred to by another package.</i><i><br>
</i><i>This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or</i><i><br>
</i><i>is only available from another source</i><i><br>
</i><i><br>
</i><i>E: Package 'postgresql-9.3-postgis' has no installation candidate</i><br>
<br>
So I modified the install command specific to PostGIS:<br>
<br>
<b>sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3 <i>postgis </i>pgadmin3 postgresql-contrib
</b><br>
<br>
Which gives the message:<br>
<br>
<i>Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have</i><i><br>
</i><i>requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable</i><i><br>
</i><i>distribution that some required packages have not yet been created</i><i><br>
</i><i>or been moved out of Incoming.</i><i><br>
</i><i>The following information may help to resolve the situation:</i><i><br>
</i><i><br>
</i><i>The following packages have unmet dependencies:</i><i><br>
</i><i> postgis : Depends: libgdal1 (>= 1.9.0) but it is not going to be installed</i><i><br>
</i><i>E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.</i><i><br>
</i><br>
So I tried to install libgdal1 v 1.10.0 via Synaptic Package Manager, but it doesn't seem to help.<br>
<br>
That's where I'm stuck.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any info either regarding this error, or if the PostgreSQL APT repo is still packaging PostGIS?<br>
<br>
I will try this on Ubuntu 12.04.4 just for fun...<br>
<br>
I appreciate any feedback! Thank you!!!<br>
