[Ubuntu] [Live-demo] Fwd: Re: [OSGeo] #1238: shp2pgsql-gui is missing

[Alan Boudreault]

I've checked the package in the DebianGIS git and it seems they removed 
the postgis-gui package or maybe the Jérome changes hasn't been pushed. 
In my opinion, I think we should keep that -gui package. You should 
forward this thread to debiangis list.
