Longer answer: the base issue here is that PostGIS is a single extension, so PostgreSQL wants exactly *one* file from a scripts package that defines what to do for `CREATE EXTENSION postgis`. These scripts packages all ship that one file, therefore they are not possible co-installable and must conflict. > Is postgis-2.3-scripts not backwards compatible with postgis-2.2? If the extension is already created for a given database, PostgreSQL doesn't need the -scripts package(s) at all. You could (in theory) remove them. In practice, we made the extension package depend on its exact -scripts counterpart, which makes the postgresql-X.Y-postgis-M.N packages non-co-installable as well. We need to fix that. Thanks for your report, I wasn't aware of this issue so far. Kind Regards Markus Wanner
