If you are using the 7.1.3 sources from unstable, you might want to switch to using upstream 7.1.3 plus the potato backport patch for 7.1release from http://people.debian.org/~elphick/postgresql/potato.html . I suspect those are easier to use on potato. > cd /root/postgresql-7.1.3/debian/tmp/usr/lib/postgresql/lib && \ > install -d /root/postgresql-7.1.3/debian/tmp/usr/lib && \ > mv lib* /root/postgresql-7.1.3/debian/tmp/usr/lib && \ > mv /root/postgresql-7.1.3/debian/tmp/usr/lib/libpgtcl* . > mv: lib*: No such file or directory I vaguely recall a problems in potato highlighted by trying to backport PostgreSQL versions: building .a libraries using a construct like ar [options] `tsort foo.o bar.o [...]` fails when potato's tsort encounters a cycle in the dependencies: rather than giving a best-effort result, it gives an empty result and an error on stderr, resulting in "empty" archives. This in turn triggered a bug in "strip" (which failed with an obscure message about a temp file not being found when run on such an "empty" archive). A workaround might be to replace invocations of "tsort" with "echo".
