It's more of a difficult trick for the RPM maintainer.... :-) No, I've thought about this possibility, and I can see packaging a 'postgresql-pg_dump73-7.2.1' RPM consisting entirely of the 7.3 pg_dump linked against the pieces of 7.2.1 necessary. Ugly, but doable. I know I sound like a broken record (for those who remember vinyl records), but good upgrading tools would eliminate this recurring problem. That's all I'm saying about that this time -- I've said enough, and it's all archived for those who care to know what I think about the state of upgrading. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
