Ok. So as someone that tried to understand pinning once and gave up, do you pin the packages or use: apt-get -t sarge-backports install postgresql method? I guess it's in the docs, but how do you use psql with both versions? And I assume I'll need to rebuild DBD::Pg -- and any tricks getting it to link with the correct client library? It's the "managed" part of the Dreamhost server that has me worried. ;) Thanks, -- Bill Moseley moseley@xxxxxxxx
