[Gnumed-devel] Postgres: which one (or many) under Debian, to install or upgrade

[J Busser]

Under Debian Sarge, the command

> apt-cache policy postgresql

gives me

> postgresql:
>   Installed: 7.4.5-3
>   Candidate: 7.4.7-6sarge1
>   Version Table:
>      7.4.7-6sarge1 0
>         500
> http://debian.savoirfairelinux.net sarge/main Packages
>  *** 7.4.5-3 0
>         100
> /var/lib/dpkg/status
>

So:

1. if I run apt-get update, will 7.4.7-6sarge1 replace my existing postgres, and can I do that regardless of whether GNUmed has been loaded, and the gnumed bootstrap done (I have not yet done these other things, I am just asking now, instead of later).

2. running apt-cache pkgnames postgres gave the following, additional available packages.

I know I don't need all of them, but are any required or recommended if I aim to run GNUmed on my server?
