It's these manual interventions which defeat many if not most people. We need to cater to users of applications who use postgres but who have never otherwise even heard of it and are unfamiliar with the commandline environment as well as the system programmers and database gurus. I think an automatic upgrade with an opportunity to not upgrade (for disk space, known problems, or whatever) is the way to go. If any resultant fallout is then addressed the world becomes a better place. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages postgresql-8.3 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.40.5-2 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.7-4 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq5 8.3~rc2-1+b1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-4 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii postgresql-client-8.3 8.3~rc2-1+b1 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii postgresql-common 84 PostgreSQL database-cluster manage ii tzdata 2007k-2 time zone and daylight-saving time postgresql-8.3 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
