I've been running a test server with Debian testing for about 6 months, [jessie 
at this time].  The server has a very basic apache2.4 setup and a basic postfix 
mail server configured to use virtual mailboxes postmapped via a postgresql 
database with courier-imap for connectivity and saslauthd for remote smtp.  
Everything worked great until an upgrade seemingly to libpq5 caused havoc with 
postfix access to the postgresql database.

This is error from mail.log:
postfix/cleanup[28208]: warning: connect to pgsql server 127.0.0.1: out of 
memory?

I noticed that libpq5 has recently had multi-arch support enabled, and that 
this may break a few things because of file location issues.  I was able to get 
things back up and running by downgrading both postgresql and libpq5 to the 
current wheezy versions of 9.1 for postgresql and 9.1.13-0wheezy1 for libpq5.  
After the downgrade of these two packages, the mail server functioned normally 
once again.

So, there must be some sort of problem somewhere with libpq5(9.4 beta-2) and 
postfix (tried all versions available in wheezy and jessie with the exact same 
result).  The question I have is, which package is the problem?  Is it postfix 
not dealing well with multi-arch libpq5 or libpq5 not implementing multi-arch 
in a nice compatible way?  Or something else entirely?

I've also noticed that the very large libpq5 reverse depends exclude running 
apache2.4 with php postgresql support and a downgraded libpq5 -- which is a 
shame.
