Hepl! I messed up! PostgreSQL 7.1 RC1 pacakges

["Stan Brown" <stanb@awod.com>]

I just really messed up!

I have a "stable" machine, and i had installed all the PostgreSQL related packages
from the stable archive, and all was well.

Then I downloaded all the PostgreSQL 7.1 RC1 packages from
http://people.debian.org/~elphick/postgresql/, put them in a directory all to
themselves, did a cd to this directory, and di "dpkg -i *".

This did not go well! I got all sorts of errors, and now when I go into dselct, I
find I'm in dependency H**L.

First, whay did I do wrong?


Second, how can I recover from this mess?
