14 After both libpq and postgresql have been upgraded, the block from libpq-8.0.9
15 on <=postgresql-8.0.8 is no longer relevant. Recent versions of portage
16 reckognise this and ignore the block. However, it seems that this has not
17 made it to stable yet.

19 Assuming that above two packages are all that're needed, you should be able to
20 get it around it manually with the following commands.
21
22 # emerge --oneshot --nodeps dev-db/libpq
23 # emerge --oneshot dev-db/postgresql
24
25 However, I wouldn't do it while the server is running in production (even if
26 there was no block).
