Thread: "yum update" breaking postgis 2.0 installations?
Hi there, I had a PostGIS 2.0 package running on CentOS 64 (64 bit). Today I typed: yum update The update involved the "postgis2_92" package as well. At the end of the process, the existing databases using PostGIS 2.0 started to break and generate errors, complaining that the $libdir/postgis-2.0.so file was missing. I inspected and noticed that this update forces to move users from 2.0 to 2.1, even though full compatibility seems not to be guaranteed between these two versions (see http://postgis.net/docs/manual-2.1/release_notes.html#id707272). For the moment I have copied the .so file from the production server, and it seems ok. Unfortunately I won't be able to file a detailed report until tomorrow morning, as I am busy for the rest of the afternoon. Could you please investigate/confirm/reply in the meanwhile? Thank you.

Hi, I know the issue, and working on it. I will try to install postgis-2.0.so file by compiling 2.0 sources :( Regards, Devrim On Tue, 2013-10-01 at 15:13 +0200, Gabriele Bartolini wrote: > Hi there, > > I had a PostGIS 2.0 package running on CentOS 64 (64 bit).
