Thread: Installing/Updating GDAL fails after update to Armadillo package (EPEL)

Hi,

Installing PostGIS/GDAL from PostgreSQL Yum repository fails after
Armadillo package has been updated in the EPEL repository
(3.800 -> 4.320).

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/armadillo.html

$ yum update
..

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

GDAL package probably needs to be repackaged/compiled with
the newer Armadillo version.

Affected platform (at least): CentOS/RHEL 6 x86_64, PostgreSQL 9.3.

I applied a fix for this, by pushing armadillo 4.300.0 to our
repository. Please exclude armadillo in epel repo, by adding

exclude=armadillo*

under [epel] section. I also rebuilt gdal for armadillo. Can you please
confirm that it works on your machine, too? Packages will be in the repo
in the next 15 mins.

Regards,
