Postgres 9.3.10 - /usr/share/postgresql/9.3/extension/postgis.control

I have searched all over around on google but still didnt find the solution so posting here. Every help will be appreciated. In my project, I am using

"./scripts/create"

to create Database. as am using PostgreSQL. While creating it i got an error

could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/9.3/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory

I tried to install this extension through anyway. but all in vain. it needs a dependency which is libgdal1, I am totally unable to find it for Ubuntu 14.04. PS : Have tried every answer over stackoverflow.

The packages libgdal1h and postgresql-9.3-postgis-scripts have been installed.

When I ran sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1, I got an error

postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 : Depends: libgdal1 (>= 1.9.0) but it is not going to be installed ,

PostgreSQL packages are broken in ubuntu 14.04, so you have to purge every postgresql package from your system:

sudo apt-get purge 'postgresql-.*'

Important: this will remove not only package but all databases and configs from your machine.

After that follow official install guide from postgresql wiki: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt
