Thank you for the report.
Jean-Michel: can you add the missing "deb" on the download page please ?

As Andreas said in his previous mail, pgAdmin3 is based on PostgreSQL >=7.3.
I built the woody packages with the official 7.2 libpq delivered in 
debian although it can be source of  bugs in pgAdmin3 (we got none 
reported until now). I don't know if I will continue to maintain woody 
packages...
However, you can find PostgreSQL 7.4 backports for woody  here:
http://people.debian.org/~elphick/debian/

Note that I did not try them but they appear to be ok for most users 
according to google. :)
