Hi folks! During the last week much development has happened to the postgresql package, in particular to ensure a smooth upgrading from woody and a clean install from scratch. I tested upgrading from woody about a dozen times under slightly different conditions, however, it would be good to test this by a broader audience with different machines, databases and setups. So if you have the time and the possibility to upgrade PostgreSQL databases from woody, we would appreciate bug (and also success) reports. Please upgrade to the current unstable version (7.4.2-3), the version currently in Sarge still has some problems. Upgrading from the old testing version 7.3.4 is currently very error-prone; often there are missing libraries (#236554, #239899, #239657) and other problems (#241873). We cannot do much about the missing libs any more, but we try to solve the latter. Thus, if you still run this version, want to upgrade _and_ have some time to aid us with debugging (like sending us db dumps or the output of some commands), then we would appreciate this as well. But please do a manual dump with pg_dumpall before trying to upgrade. Thanks in advance for any reports!
