Yes. I don't recall that I've ever purged postgresql, and in any case I'm not that compulsively tidy. I've been unable to reproduce the problem, but I also have lost the information as to what versions were involved. I had not upgraded either package in quite some time. > Right, but not if you "remove a trace" which is a file that belongs to > another package you didn't purge... While I'm not compulsively tidy, some people are. Seems to me that Postgresql would be more robust if the file either belonged to the postgresql package or was in a directory belonging to the postgresql-client package (or the desired result is achieved by some other means). -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Elmwood, WI USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
