Thanks.

I had forgotten about that package, which I installed before I found that
Debian had libdbd-pg-perl.  Getting rid of it was not the end of my
problems; they continued with the Debian package.

This package is still dependent on perl 5.004, as well as on an outdated
release of postgresql, so I propose to do a NMU soon, unless Tom Lear (cc'ed)
has got it in hand?  It's working on my system now, but still has some
lintian errors to be dealt with.

Incidentally, it doesn't state a dependency on perl, but it explicitly
installs into /usr/lib/perl/i386-linux/5.004/ (from memory).  I don't
know if it actually needs to do that.  Is it possible to put a package
in a more general location?
