Hi Dave,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I should have been clearer - I did
that before the OS upgrade, going for the big-bang approach to the
upgrade (yes, I know that that's living dangerously!), so my current
installation is from the buster repo. I assumed that the pgAdmin and
Python libraries would have been upgraded along with everything else
when I did the OS upgrade - was I wrong?

Ray.
