Well you can't just "upgrade" 7.2.1 to 7.4.6. You have to dump and restore.I recently tried to upgrade from the 7.2.1 PostGreSQL package on Debian Stable to the 7.4.6 PostGreSQL package on Debian Testing. The automatic update failed, message included below. The documentation for manual upgrades references a script which does not appear to exist (postgresql-dump) in the postgres/dumpall/7.2/ directoty.
Can anyone advise me of how to proceed? I would prefer to stick with the
Debian
packages, but if I must can deal with compiling from source for intermediate
versions, etc.
My suggestion would be to dump your 7.2.1 database and if you can use the 7.4.6 pg_dump (from source). Then remove 7.2.1 and try and reinstall 7.4.6.
Once 7.4.6 is installed then restore your dump and you should be good to go.

Thank you.
