Hello,

I know this has been brought up before:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20140724080902.GA28113@msg.df7cb.de

But this is just plain wrong. I don't care that the FAQ (on the wiki) 
says we are doing it wrong for good reasons. When I (or anyone else) 
pulls postgresql-$version-dev, I want the libpq for my version. I do not 
want 9.3.

Yes, it "should" (because of protocol compatibility) work but it doesn't 
always (as stated in that email and in a similar problem we just ran into).

There can be unintended circumstances on machines when you mix and match 
like that. Can we please do some proper packaging on this?

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
