Bug reference:      18704
Logged by:          Tony Smith
Email address:      tony.smith@enterprisedb.com
PostgreSQL version: 14.13
Operating system:   SLES 15 SP6
Description:       

Eg

If you try to install Postgis35_14

zypper install postgis35_14
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libnetcdf.so.19()(64bit)' needed by the
to be
installed gdal39-libs-3.9.2-1PGDG.sles15.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install postgis35_14-3.5.0-1PGDG.sles15.x86_64
 Solution 2: break gdal39-libs-3.9.2-1PGDG.sles15.x86_64 by ignoring
some of
its dependencies

It doesn't matter which version to be fair.

A workaround is to use the
https://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ repositor
y

The install will then work. Essentially it loks like the packages have
been
compiled in a Opensuse Tumbleweed environment. It would be better is
they
were  compiled against package versions available in SLES 15

I just drafted a mini howto for installing PostGIS on SLES 15:
