What's happening is that the script to upgrade to 3.4.0 is saying that PostGIS-3.0.0 deprecated the ST_DWithin(text,text,float8) function, but this is clearly not the case, as PostGIS-3.4.0 is providing it !

This was initially reported as #5486 bot it's now more clear

The Replaces st_dwithin(text,text,float8) comments are in all branches from 3.1 to current master (3.5dev) and the commits adding them all reference ticket #5035

Specifically the replacement tag entered versions 3.3.0(to 3.3.4), 3.2.1(to 3.2.5), 3.1.5(to 3.1.9)

The ticket only complained about ST_DWithin(geography,geography, double precision) so the version taking text was overzelous, and possibly wrong, I'll dig to find out.

Milestone: PostGIS 3.4.1PostGIS 3.1.10
Version: 3.4.xmaster

The ST_DWithin(text, text, float8) signature is defined in postgis/geography.sql.in at least since postgis-1.5 and it doesn't look like having ever be deprecated, so those commits were plain wrong.

Fix needs to be backported up to 3.1 branch

To complicate things, multiple definitions of ST_DWithin exist depending on the version of PostgreSQL PostGIS was compiled against.

For example in stable-3.1 we have:

#if POSTGIS_PGSQL_VERSION >= 120
...
-- Availability: 1.3.4
-- Replaces ST_DWithin(text, text, float8) deprecated in 3.0.0
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ST_DWithin(geom1 geometry, geom2 geometry,float8)
...
#else
-- Availability: 1.2.2
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ST_DWithin(geom1 geometry, geom2 geometry, float8)
...
#endif

I've verified 1.3.0 already had the function taking geometry, so the 1.3.4 line is wrong. I can say 1.2.1 did not have it and 1.2.2 did not exist so the availabilty line should say 1.3.0, where it had no parameter names.

The problem can be verified with this:

echo 'select postgis_extensions_upgrade();' |
make check-regress RUNTESTFLAGS="--extension --upgrade --after-upgrade-script /dev/stdin -v"

In bcf92c7/git:

Allow requesting multiple upgrades to run_test.pl

Pass multiple —upgrade switches to upgrade multiple times.
It can be used to trigger bugs with still-existing functions
being marked as deprecated.
