[postgis-users] Package dependency issues installing 2.4.3

[Greg Barker]

On a RedHat 7.4 machine, tried to do a "yum install postgres24_96" today
and got the following:

Error: Package: postgis24_96-2.4.3-1.rhel7.x86_64 (pgdg96)
           Requires: libproj.so.12()(64bit)
Error: Package: postgis24_96-2.4.3-1.rhel7.x86_64 (pgdg96)
           Requires: proj49
Error: Package: postgis24_96-2.4.3-1.rhel7.x86_64 (pgdg96)
           Requires: geos36 >= 3.6.2
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I did the same earlier this week which installed 2.4.2 and it worked fine.

One thing I noticed is that the package size for 2.4.3 is much smaller than
2.4.2:

[user at box1 ~]# yum info postgis24_96

Versus:

As a workaround I did "yum install postgis24_96-2.4.2-1.rhel7" which
succeeded.

Thanks!
