Would it be safe to remove 74-client and > install the latest version? Short answer: probably safe, yes. Longer answer: Have a poke at # pkg_info -R postgres74-client (or however that client package is actually named) This will tell you what other port(s) you have installed that presumably need/want you to have the 7.4 client installed, and thus what might be broken by your forcing an upgrade of it. Then you can decide if it's worth the risk, what to test after, what contingency plans and backups to make, etc. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) <gregb at scls.lib.wi.us>, (608) 266-6348
