Hi. Sorry, this is not a fix for your problem, just a tip for the next time... * Gary Dunn <knowtree@aloha.com> [2003-04-10 20.43 -1000]: [...snip...] > The new version of postgresql will not open my database :-( Ouch! :-( [...snip...] > I understand that portupgrade saves the old version of a port. True? Can > somebody explain how I can recover that version? The next time you use portupgrade, check out the -b flag, which will create, and *keep*, a package of the old version, and save it in /var/tmp (if you have not set $PKG_TMPDIR or $TMPDIR) -- regardless of the success of the upgrade. I hope you can get your data back. Best wishes, -- Martin Karlsson
