Postgis in UbuntuGIS is built against stock Postgres from Ubuntu main
repositories. It may not work if you mix the 2 repos.

Also Postgresql.org does not contain Postgis only Postgres and appears
to only contain LTS versions of Ubuntu.

Postgres is the Database <- From Ubuntu
Postgis is an Extension <- From UbuuntuGis

Does that answer the question?

Thanks,
Alex
