Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: postgresql

Hello!

Today I've upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, just by typing in the console:
$ gksudo "update-manager -d"
I had no troubles and now I'm running 8.04 version and everything is working as 
it should.

Anyway, in this upgrade I had also to upgrade my postgreSQL version. The 
problem is that when upgrading the database I've lost everything from the 
previous database in the previous version.
Anyway this could be avoided if only I've followed the upgrade instructions in 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/install-upgrading.html ...
My question is that, when upgrading from the repositorie couldn't/shouldn't the 
upgrade manage to backup all the existing data and after upgrading restore it?

Best regards
