Going by Synaptic, from the UbuntuGIS unstable repo, there is a combined postgresql/postgis package. This should give less potential problems than separate packages where Postgis may not have been built against the same Postgresql. Especially if you installed Postgresql from a different repository.
eg: Postgesql v9.4 from the Postgres repo will not work with Postgis 2.1 complied for 9.3 from the UbuntuGIS repository. The combined package originates from DebianGIS & is included in UbuntuGIS: postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 Uninstalling your old ones & replacing with this should give you a complete matching Postgres/Postgis install, you can add Postgis separately afterwards which I think only adds some binaries like shp2pgsql.

How did you install postgis from ubuntugis? Note that the recommended way is: sudo apt-add repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install postgis This should get you all dependencies. Netcdf will be one of them. Like libkml it is a dependency of gdal.
