Hey!!
Quick question here, I am running Debian potato on a P133, I'd like to
install the latest version of Postgresql, but when using 'apt-get
install postgresql?' the version I get is 6.5.x. Thus my question is: Is
there a way to install the latest version of Postgresql using 'apt-get'.

Thanks in advance.

7.1.3 is in woody AFAIK (might even be 7.2 by now, haven't checked).

Probably best to get the source .deb and build it yourself; otherwise
you'll pull in a lot of libes from woody.

You need to configure your apt to include non-US packages:

deb http://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US/ testing non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free

7.1.3 is in unstable and testing. And there is a 7.1.3 version
available for Potato here:

Oops, I should read the mail better. You're right of course, potato does
have 6.5.3 and not 7.1.3. I was talking about the woody version.
