Re: postgresql 6.5.3 vs. debian

[w trillich <will@pinncomp.net>]

to get me up-to-date on postgresql 6.5.3, Jeff Noxon recommended:

	# apt-get install postgresql
	[snip]
	Setting up postgresql (6.3.2-15) ...

which is exactly the version i already had.

i'd also recently installed perl 5.6, which was just replaced
when i tried further and did

	# apt-get upgrade

so now my perl scripts and cgi programs are mostly broken.

for example--
	Can't locate File/Spec.pm in @INC
	(@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004 /usr/lib/perl5
	/usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)
	at /usr/local/lib/site_perl/DBI.pm line 531. 

i'll fix it--i kept the 5.6 perl around here somewhere.

checking the apt-get manpage, i then tried
	# apt-get dselect-upgrade
	# apt-get dist-upgrade
and
	# apt-get -f
to fix whatever's broke... but at least i still have
postgresql 6.3.2, that's a comfort...

grr. can you 'splain, in really small, simple terms, so i can
follow along, how to get 6.5 postgresql?
