The packages in testing are built with the versions of libraries that you listed. You can't install them on a stable system without either overriding their dependencies (probably a bad idea!) or doing a more general upgrade. You need to install packages built on stable, and you can find some (rather out of date, I'm afraid) at http://people.debian.org/~elphick/postgresql Alternatively, get the source package of 7.1.3-4 and build it yourself. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "A new commandment I give unto you; That ye love one another.
