Bug reference: 11454

PostgreSQL version: 9.1.11
Operating system: deb
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
Version table:
9.4~beta2-1 0
990 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages

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)
