to get me up-to-date on postgresql 6.5.3, Jeff Noxon recommended:

        # apt-get install postgresql
        [snip]
        Setting up postgresql (6.3.2-15) ...

which is exactly the version i already had.

i'd also recently installed perl 5.6, which was just replaced
when i tried further and did

        # apt-get upgrade

so now my perl scripts and cgi programs are mostly broken.

for example--
        Can't locate File/Spec.pm in @INC
        (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004 /usr/lib/perl5
        /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)
        at /usr/local/lib/site_perl/DBI.pm line 531. 

i'll fix it--i kept the 5.6 perl around here somewhere.

checking the apt-get manpage, i then tried
        # apt-get dselect-upgrade
        # apt-get dist-upgrade
and
        # apt-get -f
to fix whatever's broke... but at least i still have
postgresql 6.3.2, that's a comfort...

grr. can you 'splain, in really small, simple terms, so i can
follow along, how to get 6.5 postgresql?
