[Live-demo] Issues with libgdal1 / php5-gdal

[Patric Hafner | geOps]

Hi folks,

in the last couple of days we had some issues with the volatile libgdal1
package. I have not understand completely what happened, but
unfortunately the installation of our package php5-gdal which offers PHP
bindings to the GDAL library has caused the removal of other important
packages [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1158] and I want to
apologize for the troubles caused by us. The package is used by Cartaro
and enables some nice features like import of geodata.
The installation of php5-gdal is currently disabled, but we would like
to re-enable it.

My question is now, how could we do this, without breaking things again?
If install php5-gdal on a nightly-build (tested on the latest), it works
fine and all dependencies are fulfilled. So maybe due to fixes of
libgdal1 in the last days there is no problem anymore - but I can not
promise it.
If it is okay, I would like to re-enable the installation of php5-gdal
for the next nightly build and see what happens.

[The package php5-gdal was build on 32 bit Ubuntu precise environment,
exactly the same as the live dvd. Installation on Ubuntu environments
without Ubuntu GIS Unstable repo are always successful]


Thoughts?

Best regards,
Patric
