[SRU]Incorrect binary location in 1.5.3-1

[Andy Allan]

[Impact]
Low, Since it is easily worked around by creating symlinks or updating $PATH

[Test Case]
Install postgis from oneiric
Notice the location of the binaries in /usr/bin/

[Development Fix]
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=25;filename=postgis.648176.path.patch;att=1;bug=648176

[Stable Fix]
Same as Development Fix

[Regression Potential]
Low, Since it only changes the location of the binaries

[Original Report]
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648176 for more details.

1.5.3-2 has been released for precise, but obviously this bug still exists in the 1.5.3-1 in ocelot. Can the fix be applied to 11.10 ocelot too please?

The fix summary is:
  * Moved pgsql2shp/shp2pgsql under conventional /usr/bin path.
    (closes: #648176)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Quantal Quetzal.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

Thank you for your work, I've uploaded it, it needs to be reviewed by the SRU team in the queue still though, unsubscribing the sponsors

Andy, I'm worried that we are introducing a regression. What about users who have already built in workarounds and now expect the binaries to be in /usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin?

It seems like a symlink needs to be maintained, rather than the binaries completely moving location.

The version of postgis in oneiric-proposed has been removed as this bug report was not verified in a timely fashion.

oneiric has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the oneiric task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
