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

[Jerome Villeneuve Larouche]

Hi Patric,

Long story short for GDAL, is that in the 1.10.0 update the libgdal1 
package has been removed and replaced with libgdal1h which conflicts 
with libgdal1. So if php5-gdal has been built against an older version 
of GDAL, and then depends on libgdal1 it will conflict with all the 
packages depending on the new libgdal1h and dpkg removes them.

I suggest you rebuild the php5-gdal using the UbuntuGIS repo since many 
packages used in OSGeoLive come from there. You could even ask for 
access to the repository in the UbuntuGIS mailing list 
(http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu) and upload your 
packages there.


Sorry for the little mess this updated created.
Jérôme
