[Ubuntu] GEOS 3.4.2

[maplabs at light42.com]

Hi Angelos -

  I think there may be more to the situation than that... 
GEOS 3.4.2 is current and stable.. we use 3.4.2 .. I know, I was 
looking for that as PostGIS maintainer, as GEOS is a basis of PostGIS. 

specifically:

user at osgeolive:~$ ldd /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/lib/postgis-2.1.so
    linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb77a1000)
    liblwgeom-2.1.3.so => /usr/lib/liblwgeom-2.1.3.so (0xb76d5000)
    libgeos_c.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 (0xb76af000)
    libproj.so.0 => /usr/lib/libproj.so.0 (0xb7664000)
    libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2 (0xb750a000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb735a000)
    libjson-c.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjson-c.so.2 (0xb734f000)
    libgeos-3.4.2.so => /usr/lib/libgeos-3.4.2.so (0xb71dd000)
    libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb70f3000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb70d6000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xb7090000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xb708b000)
    libz.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0xb7071000)
    liblzma.so.5 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/liblzma.so.5 (0xb704a000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77a2000)

Next, I know that Sean Gilles is hard at work on several pieces of 
GeoPython right now, preparing for FOSS4G. SO it seems likely to me 
that changes have been introduced.. 

You know the repository system better than I, so I wont try to guess 
further than that.. however, I would like to understand this, to 
resolve any build problems now and going forward.. 

best regards from Berkeley
