Thank you for the explanation.
If I understand you correctly, I should make psycopg2 depend on
postgresql82 and therefore it will not install with 81, 80, and 74.
Or I have to make a separate package for each one of the other
postgresql variations(along with each of the python variations).
Something is seriously wrong here. Fink is adding so much complexity
to protect against your example (which I consider an edge use case)
that occurs how often. Attached is the debian control file which
seems to work fine and does not have all of this complexity.
This is unproductive madness. I thought I would help out, to give
back. But I don't have this much time to give.

Description: Python module for PostgreSQL
psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming
language
(just like pygresql and popy.) This is version 2, a complete rewrite
of the
original code to provide new-style classes for connection and cursor
objects
and other sweet candies. Like the original, psycopg 2 was written
with the
aim of being very small and fast, and stable as a rock.
.
psycopg is different from the other database adapter because it was
designed
for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of
cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs.
psycopg 2 also provides full asycronous operations for the really brave
programmer.

Description: Zope database adapter based on python-psycopg
The package contains the PostgreSQL database adapter for Zope 2.7,
2.8 and
2.9 based on the psycopg2 Python module.
