Hmm, not sure. The only conflict I saw was package postgresql-8.3-postgis
depends on libgeos-c1(>=3.0.0) and qgis depends on libgeos-c1(>=3.2.0).
I upgraded libgeos-c1 from 3.0.0 to 3.2.0 but Synaptic still wants to
remove Postgis.

Ok, I think one can force install somehow, right? Never did it, but should
be no problem. or :/ ?

Thank you,
