Hi,
There are two facts for you to consider:
1. Debain is a fully configurable system such that you can
uninstall/disable almost any packages, and install/enable any extra
packages.
2. Upgrading dspace involves much more complicated procedures and risks
than reinstalling postgres.
I would suggest doing the dspace upgrade if it happens that you want
such an upgrade right at this moment.
Otherwise, do the postgres downgrade for a simple, fast and secure
solution. You can go for a dspace upgrade in a later time when you are
ready for it.
Regards,
Allen Lam.

Hello,
I guess I have messed up seriously. I updated
my debian system to the current stable release
lenny which comes with version 8.3 of postgres
only. Then I got some errors when browsing

Yes, there is a problem with PG 8.3 and DSpace
1.4.2; PG 8.3 changed the default typecasting
of certain literals in SQL.
DSpace 1.5.X will work with PG 8.3, and DSpace
1.4.2 will work with earlier versions of PG.
Too bad. Now I would like to know which way will
be easier: Modifying DSpace 1.4 code to work with
postgresql 8.3 or downgrading to an old version
of the database not any longer supported by the
distribution I use?
What exactly ist wrong in the DSpace code as of
version 1.4.2?
Is the problem clearly located in a single class
or is it spread all over the code and I would
have to use find and replace, doing extensive
testing afterwards?
Thanks for your hints.
Bye, Christian
