[Ubuntu] ossim-elevation-data-installer error

[Alan Boudreault]

IMHO, I would say that all questions related to ubuntugis packages (like this 
one) should be asked here. Another user can have the same problem or can have 
a workaround to propose. It's not really related to the software development 
itself.  

Thanks,
Alan
