[postgis-users] Help resolving raster2pgsql error

I did a fresh install on Ubuntu 20.04 of postgresql-13-postgis-3
followed by apt install postgis to get raster2pgsql

I have the same problem.

It appears that postgresql-13-postgis-3 depends on libproj15 > 6 and
postgis depends on libproj15 > 4.9 - would this be the problem?

If so, how do I go about rectifying this clash?
