Based on 2.12.0-1~natty1 Because "~wily1" is appended to the version uploaded to the Debian archive: 7.0.3~rc2-1~exp1. And so the correct revision for the UbuntuGIS backport is 7.0.3~rc2-1~exp1~wily1. > 7.0.3RC1 -> 7.0.3~rc1-1~willy1 > 7.0.3 -> 7.0.3-1~wily1 > > Sorry, I am getting lost from such complexity, Martin Please do learn how to deal with package version histories properly, your users will not be served well with broken upgrades.
