I have tried that, with
apt-get install -t experimental dbmail-pgsql
or
apt-get --reinstall install -t experimental dbmail-pgsql
it gets back to me saying this:
dbmail-pgsql is already the newest version.
and the version in question is v1.2.9.1
i.e., it refuses to even consider anything else.
I checked the Packages.gz from experimental and didn't

Well spotted. I had looked at it too, but when I had tried
with
<prefeences>
Package: dbmail-pqsql
Pin: version 2*
Pin-Priority: 1500
</prefeences>
It had not worked for some reason I can not remember. Now, it seems
it will almost work... except that, as can be seen from the contents
of Packages (or Packages.gz), it seems to depend on 'dbmail-mysql'.

DBMAIL is a collection of programs that enables email to be
stored in and retrieved from a sql database.

This is the Postgresql build.

I dont have mysql installed on this machine, this one has PostgreSQL.
It seems as if the dependency on dbmail-mysql should be removed; or,
do I have to install MySQL to be able to use PostgreSQL build.
