[postgis-users] postgis upgrade 1.4 to 1.5 sql file couldn't find $libdir/postgis-1.4

Bruno,

>From the error its sounds  like the PostGIS 1.4 has been uninstalled in the
process of upgrading  to 1.5.  This is a big no no as if the old is
uninstalled before the database is upgraded, you run into this kind of issue
since they now use different file names.

Hi Bruno,

Sorry but I'm not really sure what's happening here - I know that people
have tested the upgrade script when upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5 before the
final release and reported that it works.

I suspect you will need to talk to the maintainer of the .deb packages you
are using to find out why this is failing.


HTH,

Mark.
