Stroller. You missunderstood me. The keyword situation is the same, means -doc and -base are stable but -server not. But the masking of dev-db/postgresql is reverted.

Thanks! You're right. Updating world now. :D I also checked dev-db/postgresql on packages.gentoo.org before posting, but I guess that must not be immediately updating. Stroller.
[gentoo-user] PostgreSQL server blocker
Hi there,
For the longest time I've had PostgreSQL server installed on one of my

world` shows this blocker:

!!! The following installed packages are masked:

man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Is anyone else seeing this, please?
It looks like I need to unmerge dev-db/postgresql (I'm currently
running 8.1.11) and emerge dev-db/postgresql-server, instead.
But I'm running x86 (NOT ~x86), and all versions of postgresql-server
are marked with a ~.
I'm guessing from the date on Mr Lauer's masking above that if I sync
in a day's time then my major version (at least) of postgresql-server
will be marked as stable, however I'm extremely wary because my long
update period has ensured that I've never before seen a blocker which
has not already been discussed on this list.
I would be grateful for any thoughts or comments,
Stroller.

You need to uninstall your current packages and install those. Forgot to add: The new packages are also slotted now. Means you can install several major versions (back to 7.3.x) next to each other to ease upgrade: Install new version, dump databases of old version, stop old, start new, import databases, uninstall old version.
