Hi All, probaly a very newbie question but can't figure this one out..? When I am updating my server (Debian Squeeze) with chanced sources.list I am getting a postgresql-8.4 msg. Code: postgresql-8.4 (8.4.22-0+deb6u1) squeeze-lts; urgency=low 8.4.22 marks the end of life of the PostgreSQL 8.4 branch. No further releases will be made by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group. Users of PostgreSQL 8.4 should look into upgrading to a newer PostgreSQL release. Options are: * Upgrading to Debian 7 (Wheezy), providing postgresql-9.1. * The use of the apt.postgresql.org repository, providing packages for all active PostgreSQL branches (9.0 up to 9.4 at the time of writing). See https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt for more information about the repository. A helper script to activate the repository is provided in /usr/share/doc/postgresql-8.4/examples/apt.postgresql.org.sh. * An LTS version of 8.4 is in planning that will cover the lifetime of squeeze-lts. Updates will probably made on a best-effort basis. Users can take advantage of this, but should still consider upgrading to newer PostgreSQL versions over the next months. -- Christoph Berg <[email protected]> Mon, 28 Jul 2014 19:22:43 +0200 How do I close this one and continue the apt-get upgrade?? Thanks for any help. Appie
You cab hold the postgresql version and after holding the package easily run the update command. Hold a package version can be done as illustrated in the thread http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67155
btw, in general it is a good idea to keep your PostgreSQL version up to date. minor releases fix bugs so it makes sense to upgrade. one more general issue: 8.4 is pretty old already. consider upgrading this one as well ...
