Maybe (probably) I wasn't clear enough here. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.
The current versions in the repositories are:
PostGIS 1.3.3
Proj 4.6.0
Geos 2.2.3
PostgreSQL 8.3.1 (there's an 8.2 there as well)
I'm sad to see that a newer version of GEOS didn't make it to 8.04. I
boldly assume that this is an easily-understood slip-up on the part of
the upstream folk that could have been averted had PostGIS refused to
build against (or at least complained about) Geos 2.2.x
I'd say this is more of an error of the part of the Ubuntu packagers -
GEOS 3 had previously been at RC stage for nearly a year, and the final
release was back in December last year. In fact, it appears that the
Ubuntu packagers even went as far as making PostGIS an exception to the
feature freeze because of its importance:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgis/+bug/205179.
Other than basic human error, the only thing I can think of is that
another package somewhere in the GIS application bundle supplied with
Hardy Heron still depends on GEOS 2.2.x series.
ATB,
