Because of the transition to the multi-version postgresql packaging, we will have the situation in etch that someone who just does "apt-get install postgresql" (as has been the custom for many years) will always end up with the old version 7.4 instead of the newer 8.1. (The reason that postgresql points to postgresql-7.4 is so that people's servers will continue running, because postgresql is 7.4 in sarge.)
Now a couple of people have expressed worries about that and I was asked to bring it up on -release. A couple of ideas that have been thrown around: - Prevent new installations of postgresql (without -x.y); allow only upgrades. - Depend on both 7.4 and 8.1. None of these or any of the more crazy ones are particularly appealing, though. Other ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
