PostgreSQL for Debian GNU/Linux:

Web page  - http://www.debian.org
FTP       - ftp://ftp.debian.org and mirrors worldwide


The PostgreSQL source package (postgresql) produces several binary
packages:
  Section         Package name           [comments]  -------         ------------           ----------  misc
postgresql libs            libpgsql               [libpq.so.1]  libs            libpgsql2              [libpq.so.2]
libs           libpgtcl  libs            libpgperl  libs            ecpg  libs            libpgjava              [not
availableyet for 6.4.2]  devel           postgresql-dev  doc             postgresql-doc
 
 [the following packages are only in Debian's unstable release]  libs            postgresql-pl  libs
python-postgresql     [does not exist yet]  misc            postgresql-contrib  misc            postgresql-test
 

The current Debian stable release (hamm) contains release 6.3.2 of
PostgreSQL, as will the currently frozen next release (slink); the
unstable release (potato) contains 6.4.2.

Releases are found in the dists/ directory in the ftp archive.
