Thread: Debian package for pgsql-7.1.3
Hey!! Quick question here, I am running Debian potato on a P133, I'd like to install the latest version of Postgresql, but when using 'apt-get install postgresql?' the version I get is 6.5.x. Thus my question is: Is there a way to install the latest version of Postgresql using 'apt-get'. Thanks in advance.

Probably best to get the source .deb and build it yourself; otherwise you'll pull in a lot of libes from woody. -Doug -- Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees. --T. J.

You need to configure your apt to include non-US packages: deb http://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US/ testing non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free Michael -- Michael Meskes Michael@Fam-Meskes.De Go SF 49ers!

And there is a 7.1.3 version available for Potato here: http://people.debian.org/~elphick/postgresql/potato.html Jason

Oops, I should read the mail better. You're right of course, potato does have 6.5.3 and not 7.1.3. I was talking about the woody version. Michael -- Michael Meskes Michael@Fam-Meskes.De Go SF 49ers!
