PostgreSQL packages for Debian and Ubuntu

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group (PGDG) maintains a apt repository of PostgreSQL packages for Debian located at http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/. We aim at building PostgreSQL server packages as well as extensions and modules packages on several Debian releases for all PostgreSQL versions supported.

Currently, we support

• Debian 6.0 (squeeze), 7.0 (wheezy), and unstable (sid)
• Ubuntu 12.4 (precise), support for lucid is being worked on
• PostgreSQL 8.3, 8.4, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2
• Several third-party extensions such as Slony-I, various PL languages, and datatypes.

Packages for older PostgreSQL versions and older Debian distributions will continue to stay in the repository; updates for those will be provided on an ad-hoc basis.

Quickstart

Import the repository key from http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ACCC4CF8.asc:

wget -O - http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list. The distributions are called codename-pgdg. In the example, replace squeeze with the actual distribution you are using:

deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ squeeze-pgdg main

Configure apt's package pinning to prefer the PGDG packages over the Debian ones in /etc/apt/preferences.d/pgdg.pref:

Package: *
Pin: release o=apt.postgresql.org
Pin-Priority: 500

Note: this will replace all your Debian/Ubuntu packages with available packages from the PGDG repository. If you do not want this, skip this step.

Update the package lists:

apt-get update

Have a look at the FAQ.

• 2012-06-07: separate components "9.0", "9.2" etc added for libpq5/libpg-dev/lib... packages that would otherwise overwrite packages from other versions in the same suite. (Usually, using the latest stable libpq5 version will be ok for users. The packages built from other PostgreSQL versions are provided only for completeness.)
