[Qgis-user] Re: Problem readingn geotif file with qgis 1.7.3

[Etienne Tourigny]

Hi list,
forwarding this thread because it relates to ubuntugis.
I'd also like to ask, why is ubuntugis-unstable still using
gdal-1.8.0, as 1.8.1 was released in July?  It uses the same gdal
version as ubuntugis-stable.

regards,Etienne
