[Live-demo] Will gdal 1.9 break your application on osgeolive?

[maplabs at light42.com]

I think Hamish is pointing to package requirements where version MUST = 
so and so
rather than version >= so and so

I believe we had several versions of GDAL installed previously because 
of this, already
I do not know the details of the packages though. Hamish and others 
know better than I

An outstanding problem previously was external libTIFF vs internal libTIFF
I asked FrankW in December if he could exert postive influence on the 
packaging
in UbuntuGIS to move to a newer GDAL and at the same time resolve the problems

I will try to look into this and see the status as best as I can

best regards
