[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#518616: Subject: python-gdal: ascii rasters are not imported correctly

[Oz Nahum]

Package: python-gdal
Version: 1.5.2-3
Severity: important

Hello,
I have found out that on debian lenny ascii rasters with null values defined
as -9999 are not imported correctly.
I have asked on gdal-dev if this behavior is normal, and found out that this
bug is specific to debian lenny.
When I upgraded to the python-gdal version supplied with debian squeeze I
found out that behavior is stoped.
I provide here a link to the discussion I started in gdal-dev mailing list.
I think a patch should be supplied for people who don't to install packages
from squeeze at the moment.

Here is the link to the detailed discussion on gdal-dev:

Thanks,

Oz
