[postgis-users] Postgis 1.5.3 regression test failures

[Stephen Davies]

I am in the process of upgrading from PostgreSQL 8.4.1 and PostGIS 1.4.1 to 
PostgreSQL 9.0.4 and PostGIS 1.5.3.

I started by upgrading the 8.4.1 databases to PostgGIS 1.5.3 and the 
regression tests passed except for test 47 (tickets). This seems to be a known 
rounding issue.

I then proceeded to create a parallel 9.0.4 PostgreSQL environment and to 
rebuild PostGIS 1.5.3 against that.

This time the regression test results were:

Creating spatial db postgis_reg 
createlang: language "plpgsql" is already installed in database "postgis_reg"
TMPDIR is /tmp/
PATH is 
/usr/local/pgsql904/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/java/jdk/bin:/usr/lib/qt4/bin

 PostgreSQL 9.0.4 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.4.3, 32-
bit

The failing test out puts were (test 47 was the same for both environments):
