Hi,

If you installed the 7.3.x server via ports a simple
cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql73 && make deinstall
should do the trick.
If this doesn't help, have a look into
/usr/ports/databases/postgresql73/pkg_pl.ist

Also have a look at sysutils/portupgrade, it's a great tool!

Better empty your mailbox, letting private messages pass through ;)
