hiya. it's been a while since i've seen this mentioned on the
list but in case some of y'all'uns have forgotten (or never seen)
this -- there's a POTATO-FRIENDLY 7.0.3 POSTGRES available via
apt-get!

first, if you already have postgresql data, then

	pg_dumpall > save.your.hide.sql

(you may need to munge (via text editor) the sql output from
pg_dumpall, as some new features are more strict on
representation & so forth.)

then upgrade via adding this to sources.list :

	# /etc/apt/sources.list
	# postgresql 7.0.3 DEBIAN POTATO-FRIENDLY
	deb http://www.samfundet.no/~tfheen/debian potato main

now you can

	apt-get update
	apt-get install postgresql{,-dev,-doc,-pl,-client}
