It gets in trouble when trying to overwrite sw/var/postgresql-7.4/binary.list, which does not exist in sw/var/postgresql-7.4/. A package postgresql74 is not installed.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I believe I had a similar message, but it went away when I tried the install again--presumably due to a file getting moved between the splitoffs.
