I recently tried to upgrade from the 7.2.1 PostGreSQL package on Debian Stable to the 7.4.6 PostGreSQL package on Debian Testing. The automatic update failed, message included below. The documentation for manual upgrades references a script which does not appear to exist (postgresql-dump) in the postgres/dumpall/7.2/ directoty.
Can anyone advise me of how to proceed? I would prefer to stick with the Debian packages, but if I must can deal with compiling from source for intermediate versions, etc. Thank you.
