Hi Vince,

Following our discussion... please try this procedure to install 
ubuntugis stable ppa:

# ensure we have that tool
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

# ensure unstable in uninstalled
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable

# ensure we have
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa

# update
sudo apt-get update

# verify if you see postgis 2.0. You should see 2 entries. One with 2.0 
version, and the other one is 1.5.3 (from official ubuntu repo)
sudo apt-cache show postgis

# install postgis
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1-postgis postgis

# It's might be useful to do an upgrade if you still experience issues:
sudo apt-get upgrade

Let me know if everything works.

Regards,
Alan

I think I can live with the Mapserver version, but I want the raster and topology stuff in PostGIS 2.0.x. Do I have to look in the unstable version, compile from source, or what?
