Stephen,

I took a quick look and there is effectively an error in the rules_lenny file. The sed commands executed are simply deprecated. Check the rules file from the svn: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-grass/packages/postgis/trunk/debian/rules . In the "# Create custom main scripts" section, replace the sed commands in the rules_lenny file by those from the rules file. I'm going to take care to apply those changes in svn this week.

Thanks,
Alan

So this part ran ok, and it allowed me to do:

But this step bombs:

Selecting previously deselected package postgresql-8.3-postgis.

Which comes from:

wood...@mappy:/u/local/src/$ cat debian/postgresql-8.3-postgis.postinst
#!/bin/sh

set -e

# Creates a link for the shared lib in the postgres area
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
if [ -f /usr/lib/postgis/1.5.1/postgres/8.3/lib/postgis-1.4.so ]; then ln -f /usr/lib/postgis/1.5.1/postgres/8.3/lib/postgis-1.4.so \
                      /usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/lib/postgis-1.4.so
        else
echo "Postgis extension not found, something wrong did probably happen"
        fi
fi

#DEBHELPER#

exit 0

But we installed:

wood...@mappy:/u/local/src/postgis-1.5.1$ ls /usr/lib/postgis/1.5.1/postgres/8.3/lib/
postgis-1.5.so

So, I'm looking for where @SOVERSION@ is getting defined, which appears to be in rules_lenny (which is what I'm using). Using the svn rules it builds postgis-1.5.so but still fails on the above script.

It looks like I can probably do the link by hand, then try to upgrade the databases, but I have to run out the door for the weekend, so I'll tackle this on monday some more.

Thank you all for you help and suggestions.

Hi Stephen,

Just a quick thing you could try: "apt-get install -f" , this should install the missing dependency and continue the postgis package installation normally. Be sure you have lenny-backports in you sources.list because the libpq5 version 8.4 is there. Note that dpkg will never download and install missing dependencies, it's not its job. It's the apt-get job. That's why you have to call apt-get to fix things and continue what dpkg started before. You can also take a look at the "gdebi" utility. It's a tool to install a .deb file and it *should* (never used it much) call apt-get itself to solve missing dependencies.

see also my comments below....

Hi all,

I have just found pbuilder and I'm using it with the pkg-grass debian package definitions for geos-3.2.0 and postgis-1.5.1 building packages for lenny. This is all very cool and makes things soo much easier. I am also using some packages backports.org.

So, I have gotten things setup and have been able to build packages, but postgis and postgresql-8.3-postgis will not install giving the following error:

wood...@mappy:/u/local/src$ sudo dpkg -i postgis_1.5.1-1_amd64.deb

I have attached the postgis_1.5.1-1_amd64.build.gz from the pdebuild.

I think this might be because the control_lenny file has BOTH
   postgresql-server-dev-8.3, postgresql-server-dev-8.4
as Build-Depends for postgis.


That is ok, the package is made to build the postgis extension for both versions.

Would this not then require BOTH

libpq5 8.4~0cvs20090328 from postgresql-8.4
libpq5 8.3.9-0lenny1    from postgresql-8.3

to be part of the dependencies, probably with the later one winning or whatever?


No. libpq5 is the library that allows user programs to communicate with a postgresql server. The version of libpq5 >=8.4 is compatible to communicate with servers from PostgreSQL 8.2 or later. So it's all right that the postgis package has libpq5 >=8.4.x as dependency.

Any ideas how to fix this? Does the control file need to be split into two files one for postgresql-8.3 and one for postgresql-8.4? would the rules file need to changes also or instead of the control file?


As I said, the control and rule files are ok and build the extension for postgresql 8.3 and 8.4.

I've put a lot of time and effort into trying to resolve this, but I just don't know that much about building debian packages. Reall need to guidance and help on this one.

Best regards,
  -Steve
