[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#385981: python-gdal: python gdal should conflict with python-numpy

[Didrik Pinte]

Package: python-gdal
Version: 1.3.2-2
Severity: important


The ogr swig bindings are dependant of python Numeric and are not functionnal
with the new numpy packages. If python-numpy is installed, the python-gdal
bindings seems to work but aren't working correctly (Intersection and Disjoint
method for example aren't working).

When the new generation bindings will be available upstream this will probably
solve the bug. At the moment, Mateusz Loskot <mateusz at loskot.net> is working on
it (see http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1166 and
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/5441 )

I'm available to profite anymore info on the problem.
