Bug Description

Source of shape file is:

http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/option/select.do?id=1169

I will continue to investigate with OSGeo folks if they have any ideas.

At http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/option/select.do?id=1169 there are shapefiles which represent the electoral districts of Canada, for election years 2000, 2004, 2006 and 2008.

In 2000 it was not the same boundaries as they are now (they changed in
2003 -- and will again in 2013).

In 2004 it is the right boundaries, with only the electoral ID as data: FED_NUM: Integer (9.0)

This worked:
ogr2ogr -s_srs "ESRI::fed308.2004/fed308_a.prj" -t_srs WGS84 -f KML fed308.2004_a.kml fed308.2004/fed308_a.shp -dsco NameField=FED_NUM -dsco DescriptionField=FED_NUM
  The output KML can be browsed with Google Earth (too big for Google Maps)

In 2006 they added more information, and now ogr tools core dump with a buffer overflow.
AREA: Real (20.5)
PERIMETER: Real (20.5)
FED308_A_: Real (11.0)
FED308_A_I: Real (11.0)
FED_NUM: Real (11.0)
ED_NAMEE: String (100.0)
ED_NAMEF: String (100.0)

In 2008 they added even more information:
AREA: Real (19.5)
PERIMETER: Real (19.5)
FED_NUM: Integer (9.0)
FED_TYPE: String (4.0)
ED_ID: Integer (7.0)
ED_NAMEE: String (100.0)
ED_NAMEF: String (100.0)
ELCT_CNT: Integer (6.0)
OBJECTID: Integer (10.0)
SHAPE_AREA: Real (19.11)
SHAPE_LEN: Real (19.11)
PARTY_WIN: String (1.0)

Here is what happens with the 2008 data:

$ ogr2ogr -s_srs "ESRI::fed308.2008/fed308_a.prj" -t_srs WGS84 -f KML fed308.2008_a.kml fed308.2008/fed308_a.shp -dsco NameField=FED_NUM -dsco DescriptionField=FED_NUM

Did you tested with gdal 1.6.2 ? You can do a simple test somewhere with those gdal packages: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ppa

Alan,

I haven't tested yet. The Ubuntu machine I have here is already running Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), which doesn't have packages yet http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu/dists/ . Looking forward to adding this to my repositories as I'll likely want to follow the latest on this desktop.

Thank you.
