Subject: broken postgis23_95 dependencies on CentOS/RHEL 6
Precedence: bulk

Hello,

Thanks for creating a yum repo for these packages.  I find it quite useful =
at work!

Unfortunately, I'm now getting the following error when trying to 'yum inst=
all postgis23_95' on a RHEL 6 box:

Error: Package: postgis23_95-2.3.6-2.rhel6.x86_64 (pgdg95)
           Requires: geos36 >=3D 3.6.2
Error: Package: postgis23_95-2.3.6-2.rhel6.x86_64 (pgdg95)
           Requires: libproj.so.12()(64bit)
Error: Package: postgis23_95-2.3.6-2.rhel6.x86_64 (pgdg95)
           Requires: proj49

If I install the older version, it works fine. ('yum install postgis23_95-2=
.3.4')  (The changelog says the functional version is 2.3.5, but the RPM sa=
ys 2.3.4.)

The pgdg95/rhel-6-x86_64 yum repo doesn't have the necessary dependencies f=
or postgis23_95; specifically, the geos36 package is missing and also the p=
roj49 package. The repo does have geos-3.5 and proj-4.8, but the package na=
me doesn't match (also the version).

I see this in the changelog:
postgis23_95-2.3.6-2.rhel6.x86_64        pgdg95
* Sun Jan 28 12:00:00 2018 Devrim G=C3=BCnd=C3=BCz <> - 2.3.6-2
- Let PostGIS 2.3 depend on PGDG supplied Proj49 and GeOS 36 RPMs.
  This will help users to benefit from latest GeOS and Proj.

The rhel-7-x86_64 version of the repo does have the proj49 and geos36 rpms,
but the rhel-6-x86_64 versions of the repo lacks those RPMs, hence the
issue, and hence why it took a few days to catch this.  (Likely many other =
people are using CentOS/RHEL 7.)


If there's any other info that would be helpful, please let me know!


Thanks!

V/r,
