[postgis-users] possible problem with PostGIS on RHEL8

[Worth Lutz]

We are pulling the packages from here 
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/13/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/

That is where the inconsistencies described below are and cause proj 7 
and proj 8 to be installed.

postgis31_13-3.1.1-1.rhel8.x86_64.rpm seems to be the last to require 
Proj7.  But it requires gdal 3.2 and the gdal32-libs-3.2.2 require Proj8.

This pulls on both versions of proj and when we build MapServer it picks 
up both libraries. MapServer crashes due to the multiple proj libraries.

There seem to be no gdal32-libs requiring proj 7.

Can someone confirm this inconsistency and suggest a solution?

Thanks,

*Worth Lutz*
