gdal vs gdal1 package?

Hi there.

Tried to update my system and got this error.

 warning: removing 'gdal' from target list because it conflicts with 'gdal1'
:: gdal1 and gdal are in conflict. Remove gdal? [y/N] 
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: gdal1 and gdal are in conflict

Any one else get this error?
Whats the difference between those packages except versions number going backward from the former 2.0 to the later 1.11?
And is it safe to replace?

Thanks

Re: gdal vs gdal1 package?

Looks like there was some big changes, so the library was bumped from v1 to v2. Presumably this change means that anything that used v1 will need to be rewritten to use v2, so in the interim, the maintainer decided to make a fallback package for those who need v1 of the library.

After a little digging, I found this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46346

Looks like the conflict is temporary, and the v1 lib will be able to coexist with the v2 lib when it's fixed.

Re: gdal vs gdal1 package?

Not sure why we're switching to gdal1 over gdal, because vtk needs gdal1, but breaking everything else that uses gdal.

Merging with existing thread, and moving existing thread to Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues.

Re: gdal vs gdal1 package?

Currently there is a bit of mess with gdal vs gdal1. The main reason is that VTK fails to compile with gdal-2.0  http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=15692  VTK is kept with gdal1 dependency. But this gdal1 package has conflicting files with gdal.

The best way to fix this dependency problem is to port VTK to gdal2.0. Does anybody has a good experience with VTK to resolve the compilation issue? Once we have a patch we'll rebuild and push updated VTK package.

vtk has been upgraded without the gdal1 dependency.
