Description

The install process for postgresql currently always attempts to install the version listed in fo-installdeps. Since with newer OS releases we are seeing postgresql 9.1 and installing 9.1 would not be the correct response if 8.4 is already installed. So we should change fo-installdeps to only install a new version of postgresql if there is not a database already installed.

why we specify version number of postgresql is becuase the history reason, I do not remember the detailed reason.
One proposal:
when installing postgresql, do not specify version number of postgresql on any linux distro.

make sense?

I will try it.

per the discussion on the meeting, I will still specify the version number.
why do you think installing 9.1 would not be the correct response if 8.4 is already installed?
I install on ubuntu 12.04/64bit from source(trunk), did not do any code change, I can install/upload successfully.
then I apt-get install postgres -y, can install postgresql 9.1 successively.
dpkg --get-selections|grep postgre
postgresql install
postgresql-8.4 install
postgresql-9.1 install
postgresql-client-8.4 install
postgresql-client-9.1 install
postgresql-client-common install
postgresql-common install
postgresql-server-dev-8.4 install

perhaps, we do not need change anything in utils/fo-installdeps
