There are multiple things I would like to point out here. 1) Debian 6.0 and 7.0 are very old versions of Debian. They are no longer supported. Please consider upgrading to the latest stable version of Debian. Currently it is 8.6 and is called Jessie. 2) Even if you upgrade to latest Debian stable version, you will still get 4.0.3 and that will not change in the future. This is because Debian stable will only get security fixes and does not get any new versions. 3) As http://kamarajukusumanchi.github.io/choosing_debian_distribution/choosing_debian_distribution.html would tell you, your best bet to get the latest version of a software package is to install Debian unstable. But in this case even that would not help because even Debian unstable has 4.0.3 % rmadison python-pygresql debian: python-pygresql | 1:4.0-2+b1 | squeeze | amd64, armel, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc python-pygresql | 1:4.0-3 | wheezy | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc python-pygresql | 1:4.0-3.1 | jessie-kfreebsd | kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386 python-pygresql | 1:4.0-3.1 | jessie | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x python-pygresql | 1:4.0-3.1 | stretch | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x python-pygresql | 1:4.0-3.1 | sid | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x 4) Normally, the next logical step is to file a "wishlist" bug asking the maintainer to package the new upstream version. But in this case, that may not be desirable since as Richard Hector pointed out, this functionality is provided by another package (python-psycopg2) and is also way more popular. % echo "python-pygresql python-psycopg2" | tr ' ' '\n' | popsort.py 14919 python-pygresql 4260 python-psycopg2 where the first column shows the package rank from popularity contest. BTW popsort.py is a script written by me and documented at http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Sort_output_of_apt-cache_search_by_popularity . 5) If you still want the latest version of python-pygresql, use reportbug tool to file the "wishlist" bug. If you do not know how to do that, I am happy to do it for you. Hope that helps raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
