The experimental sources of debian already provides postgresql-8.3 beta4, so installing it is as easy as adding experimental to your testing server sources.list, or if you want to take no risk of upgrading other experimental packages, adding the deb-src experimental source and backporting: apt-get update apt-get build-dep postgresql-common postgresql-client-common postgresql-8.3 apt-get source -b postgresql-common postgresql-client-common postgresql-8.3 dpkg -i ... http://packages.debian.org/postgresql-8.3 Install at least the -common packages, libpq and the wanted components. Those -common packages contain the infamous debian wrappers which makes debian differs from other PostgreSQL installations, but allows to easily use several version at a time, including binary choice without messing with PATH manually (adding --cluster 8.3/main to "official" options --- version/clustername). Please note that 8.3b2 to 8.3b4 needs an initdb, and the debian packaging has no support for beta to beta upgrading. You'll certainly want to do it manually: pg_dumpall > backup.file apt-get remove postgresql-8.3 rm -rf $PGDATA/* (defaults to /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main) <install new version, either apt-get install or dpkg -i> psql -f backup.file Hope this helps, -- dim
