This should be fixed in 8.0.5-1.

Quite some AFAIR. To find out which, we need to wade through apt-cache
rdepends libpq4 and check whether the packages still build when
removing these files:
usr/include/postgresql/catalog/pg_type.h
usr/include/postgresql/nodes/nodes.h
usr/include/postgresql/utils/{elog,errcodes,palloc}.h
usr/include/postgresql/{c,pg_config,pg_config_manual,pg_config_os,port}.h
usr/include/postgresql/postgres{,_fe,_ext}.h
Failing example packages are pygresql and psycopg.
Thanks,
Martin

Bug#314427: contains too many files
This has become an issue again. I'm building a module for a back version of PostgreSQL. (I know we're not supposed to use 8.0 any more, but the same is true for 7.4.) These fake "client" header files contain symbols relevant to server version 8.1 but not present in earlier versions, so packages that do -I/usr/include/postgresql -I/usr/include/postgresql/8.0/server/ will just crash during the build. I suppose one could work around this by switching the order, but that a disproportional amount of work (patch configure etc.) I would like to know exactly which packages require these fake client headers that I listed in my original messages. I want to see if they can be fixed properly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Clients that require pg_type.h are buggy and should fix their code or adjust their dependencies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Many client packages need e. g. pg_type.h. All of these files are required by at least one client package. BTW, these files are present in -server-dev, too (i. e. in the server/ subdirectory), but I moved them to libpq-dev to avoid build-depending on -server-dev in some client packages.

Package: libpq-dev Version: 8.0.3-5 Severity: normal Some of the header files included in this package are not for libpq development and should be moved to postgresql-server-dev, namely: usr/include/postgresql/8.0/c.h libdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/catalog/pg_type.hlibdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/nodes/nodes.hlibdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/port.h libdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/postgres.h libdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/postgres_ext.h libdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/postgres_fe.hlibdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/utils/elog.h libdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/utils/errcodes.h libdevel/libpq-dev usr/include/postgresql/8.0/utils/palloc.h libdevel/libpq-dev The libpgport library is also not really suitable for libpq development. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
