RPM Packaging Question - Fedora 28 & Postgis

I'm attempting to install PostGIS2 (specifically postgis2_95 for
Postgres 9.5) on Fedora 28.  When I run ``sudo dnf install
postgis23_95`` I get the the following the error:

Error:
  Problem: conflicting requests
     - nothing provides geos36 >= 3.6.2 needed by postgis23_95

Fedora 28 provides GEOS 3.6.1.  Is my issue something that I should
bring up to the Fedora maintainers or to whoever's in charge of the
Postgres Yum repos?

What repo source are you using for the PostGIS package?

Thank you,
John

The latter; specifically, whoever produced the allegedly-F28-compatible
postgis RPM you're trying to install.

According to "dnf info", the repo is pgdg95, which I got from the Postgres
website. Since this looks like a packaging bug and not specifically a
Postgres bug, should I submit it pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org?

No I would file it here:

https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/3038

missing packages "proj49" and "geos36" in postgresql 9.5 repository
(dependencies of "postgis24_95")

You will need either a Postgres community account to log in:

https://www.postgresql.org/account/signup/

or third party accounts, see below:
