The problem is that p5-dbd-pg forced the upgrade to postgres= ql13-client.

Work had started to make the postgresql-server ports co-exist (which is quite a different issue from making them flavored) late last year. I have been busy with other parts of the system (BIT_SET and CPU_SET changes for better ports compatibility and CONFLICTS fixes) which had priority during the last weeks, but I plan to return to fixing the postgresql ports issue (together with girgen@ (Palle Girgensen) who had started working on fixing these issues independently of me. The goal is to have the latest PostgreSQL client port being depended on by all server ports (since the client offers far reaching backwards compatibility), and to have the servers install their files in versioned directories to avoid conflicts between them. Other ports that depend on the client will then always depend on the latest client version and they will work with all server versions. A conversion to FLAVORs might come at a later time, but it is orthogonal to being able to support multiple servers and to have the client independent from the server (just not at a lower version than any supported server). And the client version should not be coupled to the server version at all (but old clients should still be available for testing and in the unlikely case that backwards compatibility does not work as documented in some edge case).
