Due to missing postgresql-9.4-postgis-2.1 in stretch, a postgis
enabled
database becomes corrupt when upgrading from jessie to stretch
since
the required postgis libraries are missing. This can cause serious
data
loss, because once upgraded to stretch, the postgis data can't be
accesed nor dumped (Database gives error "could not access file
"$libdir/postgis-2.1": no such file or directory").
The database is not corrupt, your old database still works (after
installing the old postgis).
Sure, but I can't install the old postgis-2.1 because it is not
available in stretch.
So temporarily add the sources for jessie and install postgis from
jessie and remove the sources again.
Or use the symlink hack.
I think the problem is that postgis-2.1 was removed on updating which
should not be the case, should it?
Removing packages no longer in the distribution your upgrading to is
quite common.
Kind Regards,
Bas
