SOLUTION |
38 |
|
39 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
40 |
dev-db/postgresql-7.2.1-r2 and earlier update their systems |
41 |
as follows: |
42 |
|
43 |
emerge rsync |
44 |
emerge postgresql |
45 |
emerge clean |
46 |
|
47 |
postgresql-7.2.2 is currently only available for x86. Sparc and ppc will |
48 |
be available when it's been tested on these archs. |
