Hi Mark;
If you look at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geos/+bug/139689 you will see
I suggested a GEOS upgrade back last fall - before 7.10 was released.
By the time the triage happened, I guess the Hardy decisions had been
made. Unfortunately the clamour that reversed the decision on PostGIS
didn't pick up on GEOS as well.
Which gets back to my original comment - too bad PostGIS 1.3.3 builds
against GEOS 2.2.x :-)

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,
Mark.
