Alan,
Thanks! I can confirm that your suggest does resolve the problem. I was
able to build and install postgresql-8.3-postgis_1.5.1-1_amd64.deb on my
system and run the upgrade 1.3 to 1.5 script and a cursory check looks
like the new software is working.
Thanks so much for your help and suggestions, also extended to the other
readers that responded. It is all appreciated.
Best regards,
-Steve
