Right, and in fact that's what usually happens automatically. > This is somehow impossible if one used plugins (e.g. chkpass) and there > is no old version available. Right, but why /var/lib/postgresql/lib? All Debian packages I know use /usr/lib/postgresql/lib, and the chkpass plugin from postgresql-contrib does not put any additional libraries anywhere, too. Does postgresql recognize libraries in that path? (I never tried that). Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntulinux.org Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
