Hi all,

Just wanted to report back that the instructions below are working fine 
in Ubuntu 12.04 (and 13.x which is on its last days of support).

14.04, both on server and desktop, does not work.

Thanks!!!

      Hi all,<br>
      <br>
      Last year I wrote up some PostGIS installation instructions for
      Ubuntu based on the PostgreSQL APT repository:<br>
      <br>
      <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

  <br>
      These worked great for a while, but seems to have stopped working
      with Ubuntu 14.04.<br>
      <br>
      I know there was a thread back at the end of January discussing
      the version of GDAL that would work with PostGIS (1.9 / 1.10) ,
      but if nothing else, here's an update on the installation error
      messages:<br>
      <br>
      --When running this on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 VM - with no QGIS
      installed (thanks Stephen), here are the messages that I get:<br>
      <br>
      After running this command:<br>
      <br>
      <b>sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3 postgresql-9.3-postgis
        pgadmin3 postgresql-contrib</b><br>
      <br>
      I get the message: <br>
      <br>
      <i>Package postgresql-9.3-postgis is not available, but is

      </i><i>E: Package 'postgresql-9.3-postgis' has no installation

      So I modified the install command specific to PostGIS:<br>
      <br>
      <b>sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3 <i>postgis </i>pgadmin3
        postgresql-contrib </b><br>
      <br>

      Manager, but it doesn't seem to help.<br>
      <br>
      That's where I'm stuck.<br>
      <br>
      Does anyone have any info either regarding this error, or if the
      PostgreSQL APT repo is still packaging PostGIS?<br>
      <br>
      I will try this on Ubuntu 12.04.4 just for fun...<br>
