here's my setup, and it works for me like a champ--

$ psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.1
contains readline, history, multibyte support

$ perl -MDBD::Pg -e 'print $DBD::Pg::VERSION'
0.95

if there's a major reason to upgrade from 0.95, i'd like to hear
it. (i'm on debian potato, where upgrading is done with more
caution than most places... altho 7.1 is already more 'new' than
potato would recommend -- there were good reasons to upgrade.)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #31 from Will Trillich <will(at)serensoft(dot)com>
:
Ever wonder why Debian STABLE SEEMS OUT-OF-DATE? It's because
it's STABLE! When enough testing shows a release to be worthy
of the "stable" name, it's frozen -- nothing new can be added
to it. Gizmo 57.3 might come out the next day, but it won't
show up in the stable release. If you want to be on the
bleeding edge, try "testing" or "unstable". If you want solid
dependability, stick with "stable" and use tried-and-true
packages instead of the newfangled ones that might break.
