I misunderstood here. I thought the bug affected upgrades from 8.3 to 8.4 using the normal Debian pg_upgradecluster method (and so was holding off on my lenny to squeeze upgrades). Now I see that it only affects upgrades specifically done with pg_upgrade. > Is this issue of sufficient import to warrant an explicit mention in the > point release announcement mail, beyond the standard one-liner in the > list of updated packages?

They aren't specifically configured or require any special syntax, so I'm guessing many folks are not aware their databases contain them. -- _ivan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
