Should mostly be harmless as long as "man postmaster" does the right thing afterwards (i. e. is for 9.2), but out of interest, which postgresql-common version do you have installed. There were some fixes for managing the alternatives a while ago: postgresql-common (135) experimental; urgency=low [...] * debian/maintscripts-functions: Configure alternatives for manpages in -contrib. This will only take effect after (re)installing postgresql-contrib-9.2. (Closes: #680571) And also: postgresql-common (141) experimental; urgency=low [...] * debian/maintscripts-functions: Fix configure_client_version to call _link_manpages correctly, spotted by Kris Shannon. (Closes: #701602) Can you please do dpkg -l postgresql-common to check the version?

(Closes: #701602) What could have happened is: * pg-9.1 is installed with the buggy _link_manpages call. * postgresql-common is upgraded * pg-9.2 is installed from apt.pg.o * _link_manpages fixes things ... so the above is only the fix for an old bug, not a "new" one. I'm not sure though. > Can you please do > > dpkg -l postgresql-common > > to check the version? That'd be interesting, yes. Christoph -- cb@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
