In any case, the Debian situation is probably different enough, in that they have several PostgreSQL versions (like we have two Python stacks) and parallel-installable PostgreSQL-dependent packages have to be prefixed to avoid confusion. In this case I'd defer to Tom as both a PostgreSQL developer and a Red Hat employee :) Thanks, -- Michel Alexandre Salim Fedora Project Contributor: http://fedoraproject.org/ -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
