Bug report: Wrong version in pg_config - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hi,

I'm using postgresql 8.3 in my Ubuntu 8.04 dekstop computer. I have tried to
install postgresql 8.4 for some testing, and removed it afterwards
using *apt-get
purge*.
There are currently no 8.4 packages installed:

*$ dpkg --get-selections | grep postgresql*
postgresql-8.3                                  install
postgresql-8.3-postgis                          install
postgresql-client-8.3                           install
postgresql-client-common                        install
postgresql-common                               install
postgresql-contrib-8.3                          install
postgresql-doc-8.3                              install
postgresql-plpython-8.3                         install
postgresql-server-dev-8.3                       install

But still, pg_config remains with the removed version, after postresql
restart and even total reboot:

This creates confusion with external software packages trying to use pgxs,
for example.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks,
