[SoC] [Ubuntu] UbuntuGIS Weekly Report 4

[Alex Mandel]

No it's unlikely that it will be changed:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2013/06/msg00015.html

It's also been in place for a whole year already. Please contact the
Postgres team asking them to allow libgdal1 OR libgdal1h in their
control file for their packages.

That should solve it.

Thanks,
Alex

Reinstall Postgis and libgdal1h is replaced with libgdal1 and Qgis is removed. I've seen others reporting the same issue on qgis-user mailinglist. A simple workaround would be to install Postgis from Ubuntugis-unstable instead but I would prefer the "official" package. Why do we need to rename libgdal1? Could you please fix this?
