Package: libmapnik2-2.0 Version: 2.0.0+ds1-3+b4 Severity: wishlist
Hi, the libmapnik2-2.0 package currently in Sid includes a bug fixed in later versions of libmapnik but not yet in the Debian archives. Namely, it's not actually compatible with PostGIS 2.0 due to the presence of an old API call. AsBinary() should be renamed ST_AsBinary() for /usr/lib/mapnik/2.0/input/postgis.input. Since Wheezy is shipping PostGIS 1.5 this isn't a RC bug by any means, but over the life of Wheezy it will cause confusion and force installation of 3rd party updates for people using the newer PostGIS, who think the library will be compatible but it actually isn't. So probably a wontfix for the current release, but at least a head's up to anyone else banging their head against the wall & searching the BTS when trying to use it with PostGIS 2.0. The easy work around by the way is to run psql -f legacy.sql or legacy_minimal.sql which comes with PostGIS 2.0. regards, Hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
