Comment(by strk):

 Ok, I see the problem.
 Your 2.1.2dev--2.1.2devnext.sql script _assumes_ that aggregates are
 ALWAYS created, while now they are only created IF they need be. And
 that's intentional, because the subject of this bug is infact being unable
 to upgrade while having views defined taht _depend_ on those aggregates.

 So I think the actual fix would be dropping the assumption, which I belive
 is built into the call to SELECT
 postgis_extension_remove_objects('postgis', 'AGGREGATE');


 Similarly all other "drops" for extension should be made version-
 dependent.
 What's the rationale for extensions NOT using the same scripts used for
 extension-less upgrades ?
