Stephen,
I took a quick look and there is effectively an error in the rules_lenny
file. The sed commands executed are simply deprecated. Check the rules
file from the svn:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-grass/packages/postgis/trunk/debian/rules .
In the # Create custom main scripts section, replace the sed commands
in the rules_lenny file by those from the rules file. I'm going to take
care to apply those changes in svn this week.
Thanks,
Alan

So this part ran ok, and it allowed me to do:

Which comes from:

#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Creates a link for the shared lib in the postgres area
if [ $1 = configure ]; then
if [ -f /usr/lib/postgis/1.5.1/postgres/8.3/lib/postgis-1.4.so
]; then
ln -f
/usr/lib/postgis/1.5.1/postgres/8.3/lib/postgis-1.4.so \
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/lib/postgis-1.4.so
else
echo Postgis extension not found, something wrong did
probably happen
fi
fi
#DEBHELPER#
exit 0
But we installed:
wood...@mappy:/u/local/src/postgis-1.5.1$ ls
/usr/lib/postgis/1.5.1/postgres/8.3/lib/
postgis-1.5.so
So, I'm looking for where @SOVERSION@ is getting defined, which
appears to be in rules_lenny (which is what I'm using). Using the svn
rules it builds postgis-1.5.so but still fails on the above script.
It looks like I can probably do the link by hand, then try to upgrade
the databases, but I have to run out the door for the weekend, so I'll
tackle this on monday some more.
Thank you all for you help and suggestions.

Hi Stephen,
Just a quick thing you could try: apt-get install -f , this should
install the missing dependency and continue the postgis package
installation normally. Be sure you have lenny-backports in you
sources.list because the libpq5 version 8.4 is there. Note that dpkg
will never download and install missing dependencies, it's not its
job. It's the apt-get job. That's why you have to call apt-get to fix
things and continue what dpkg started before. You can also take a
look at the gdebi utility. It's a tool to install a .deb file and
it *should* (never used it much) call apt-get itself to solve missing
dependencies.

Hi all,
I have just found pbuilder and I'm using it with the pkg-grass
debian package definitions for geos-3.2.0 and postgis-1.5.1 building
packages for lenny. This is all very cool and makes things soo much
easier. I am also using some packages backports.org.
So, I have gotten things setup and have been able to build packages,
but postgis and postgresql-8.3-postgis will not install giving the
following error:
wood...@mappy:/u/local/src$ sudo dpkg -i postgis_1.5.1-1_amd64.deb
