Description:
Hi PG team!
MV48 from #postgresql Freenode here. I'm trying to install PLPerlu for PG
9.1.11-1 and ran into a strange error on my employer's *nix Debian dev box:
$ apt-get install postgresql-plperl-9.1

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
I do see that "postgresql-plperl-9.1" is referenced, but I obviously don't
want to remove swap 9.1 for 9.4 (which is beta*** I thought...).
To quote Zr40 from #postgresql Freenode: "Major versions should be able to
be installed side by side, and it should definitely not remove a major
version when upgrading."
***$ apt-cache policy postgresql-9.4
postgresql-9.4:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 9.4~beta2-1

Thanks for considering this bug. It was brought to my attention that Myon
handles the Debian PG repo stuff, but he wasn't on the IRC.
Best,
Matthew Vita (MV48)
