Package: python-gdal Version: 1.5.2-3 Severity: important Hello, I have found out that on debian lenny ascii rasters with null values defined as -9999 are not imported correctly. I have asked on gdal-dev if this behavior is normal, and found out that this bug is specific to debian lenny. When I upgraded to the python-gdal version supplied with debian squeeze I found out that behavior is stoped. I provide here a link to the discussion I started in gdal-dev mailing list. I think a patch should be supplied for people who don't to install packages from squeeze at the moment.
Here is the link to the detailed discussion on gdal-dev: http://n2.nabble.com/ASCII-Rasters-and-%27null%27-values-in-python-gdal-td2392228.html Thanks, Oz -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python-gdal depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libgdal1-1.5.0 1.5.2-3 Geospatial Data Abstraction Librar ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii python 2.5.2-3 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.8 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-numpy 1:1.1.0-3 Numerical Python adds a fast array python-gdal recommends no packages. python-gdal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- ---- Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace ---- You all must read 'The God Delusion' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_God_Delusion --- when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity.
