I eventually looked into which PostgreSQL I use on Linux and it was 8.1
also. I must have overlooked that the 8.2 port files are only committed for
a few days. Feel free to update the port file, but for me, the 8.2 is no
longer needed. I took 8.1.

I wonder if it is possible to have something like the "provides"-"requires"
rules that Debian dpkg has. PostgreSQL 8.1 and 8.2 could "provide
postgresql8" while php5 could "require postgresql8". Then both PostgreSQL
8.1 and 8.2 would provide the php5 necessity.

Thanks anyway,

Ringo
