It's more of a difficult trick for the RPM maintainer.... :-)
No, I've thought about this possibility, and I can see packaging a
'postgresql-pg_dump73-7.2.1' RPM consisting entirely of the 7.3 pg_dump
linked against the pieces of 7.2.1 necessary. Ugly, but doable.
I know I sound like a broken record (for those who remember vinyl records),
but good upgrading tools would eliminate this recurring problem. That's all
I'm saying about that this time -- I've said enough, and it's all archived
for those who care to know what I think about the state of upgrading.
