libpostgis-java contains wrong jar file

[hamish]

Hi,

$ dpkg -l | grep libpostgis-java
 ... version 2.1.1-1~precise3 installed

$ dpkg -L libpostgis-java | grep jar
/usr/share/java/postgis-jdbc-2.1.0~rc1.jar
/usr/share/java/postgis.jar

/usr/share/java/postgis.jar is a symlink which points to a non-existent postgis-jdbc-2.1.1.jar.

so anything trying to use postgis.jar will fail.

a possible work-around:

# fix for package breakage
rm -f /usr/share/java/postgis.jar
ln -s /usr/share/java/postgis-jdbc-2.1.0~rc1.jar /usr/share/java/postgis.jar

'apt-cache policy' shows that the package is installed from the osgeolive ppa.

I don't think this is used by any software on the disk. Is this really critical?

Replying to kalxas:

can you guarantee that? install_osm.sh brings in the package as a dependency of osmosis.

for now I've committed the symlink fix in r11234.

postgis.jar now shows to the correct file. Has to be fixed in ppa though.

in build 11555, I noticed in the log:

I traced this in alpha4 and seems that the postgis.jar now corectly links to the postgis-jdbc-2.1.3.jar
