Re: Hepl! I messed up! PostgreSQL 7.1 RC1 pacakges
Hi Stan,
Get the postgresql package that you had installed before, and then...
dpkg --force-downgrade postgresql-<original version>
If neccessary....
dpkg --force-downgrade --force-overwrite postgresql-<original version>
E-mail back if that doesn't work of course.
Hope that helps you,
Jimmy Richards
