Because several postgresql can now be installed concurrently ! libdbd-pg-perl 1.42-2 depends on libpq4 and that's enough, there's no reason for me to conflict with anything. The description of libpq4 says: | This version of libpq is compatible with servers from PostgreSQL 8.0 | or later. Furthermore your script uses the TCP/IP access > | #our $greylist_dbname = 'DBI:Pg:database=mimedefang'; > | our $greylist_dbname = > 'DBI:Pg:database=mimedefang;host=localhost;port=5432;'; instead of the traditional Unix socket. I suppose that's because the Unix socket doesn't work ! And if it didn't work, it may have been on purpose : to avoid using the lib with the socket corresponding to the old postgresql ! I'm ccing Martin Pitt to have his input on this problem. Martin, do you confirm that using libpq4 with older PostgreSQL is asking for troubles ? Manoj, I suggest that you switch to PostgreSQL 8.0. I do not intend to provide several versions of libdbp-pg-perl to support several PostgreSQL. I'm going to follow the latest stable PostgreSQL as usual. I may document this situation in the README.Debian however. Regards, -- Raphaël Hertzog Premier livre français sur Debian GNU/Linux : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/
