hmmm... Which directory are you running the command from? I ran mine from /var/lib/postgresql which has the properties: drwxr-xr-x 4 postgres root I don't recall using the command "pg_upgrade91", but I see that it is a symlink to /usr/lib/postgresql-9.1/bin/pg_upgrade This is the command that worked for me: pg_upgrade -u postgres -d /var/lib/postgresql/9.0/data -D \\ /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/data -b /usr/lib/postgresql-9.0/bin -B \\ /usr/lib/postgresql-9.1/bin For more information do (as postgres user) $ pg_upgrade --help -- Regards, Gregory
