Thanks to Oliver (and maybe others who helped him) for the binary packages for postgresel 7.1 for potato.
I have struggled a bit to get my old data (6.5.3) into 7.1 because the dump script would not dump my old data. So I restored the old data from previous dumps I made. I tried out the (for me new ) /usr/lib/postgresql/dumpall/pg_dumpall on my 7.1 database which resulted in the following error. --------------------------------------- $/usr/lib/postgresql/dumpall/pg_dumpall /usr/lib/postgresql/dumpall/pg_dumpall: /psql: No such file or directory \connect template1 select datdba into table tmp_pg_shadow from pg_database where datname = 'template1'; delete from pg_shadow where usesysid <> tmp_pg_shadow.datdba; drop table tmp_pg_shadow; copy pg_shadow from stdin; /usr/lib/postgresql/dumpall/pg_dumpall: /psql: No such file or directory -------------------------------- I do not see any reference to /psql in /etc/postgresql/postgresql.env which is used by pd_dumpall. pg_dump js -o -c -f /home/js/psql/jsdb.out works without a problem. Any ideas to eliminate the problem with pg_dumpall trying to use a directory named /psql? Johann -- J.H. Spies - Tel. 082 782 0336.
