Description

There are a few entities in base where the geometry is MULTIPOLYGON but one of the polygons is basically a line.

Pattern: POLYGON (A, B, C, A), where B is the same point with different decimal precision as C or A. So, when you normalize all the points to the same precision, you get POLYGON (A, B, B, A) which is actually a linestring.

Could you change these geometries either to LINESTRING or removing them completely.
