The most reliable and preferred procedure is to use the _new_ version's

do package installs of multiple versions) to install the new pg_dump and
pg_dumpall on the old system.

Andrew,

  Using the SlackBuilds.org script with an updated version number worked for
11.1. So, I'll install it on the old desktop and upgrade in place. Then I
can use the 11.1 pg_dumpall on the data directory and copy that over to the
new desktop.

Thanks,

Rich
