[osgeo4w-dev] grass8 needs proj82-runtime

[Andrea Giudiceandrea]

Posted here because https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ seems not working.

Installing GRASS 8 (grass8 8.0.1-2), without also installing QGIS, leads 
to the following error unsuccessfully trying to launch it:

{{{

It seems to me this is due to the the fact that the package 
proj82-runtime is not listed in the grass8 dependencies, while 
proj_8_2.dll is needed by libgrass_gproj.8.0.dll.

Manually installing proj82-runtime fixes the issue and then it is 
possible to successfully launch GRASS 8.

When qgis* is installed alongside grass8, then the issue doesn't occur 
because proj82-runtime is automatically installed as a dependency of 
python3-pyproj (why pyproj needs PROJ 8 and not PROJ 9?) which in turns 
is automatically installed as a dependency of qgis*.
