    Hi,

    there is a problem:

    packages depends upon libssl1.0.0 (=>1.0.0), but in squeeze there is
    only libssl0.9.8. So installation is broken!

    Regards,
    Oliver

    Package : postgresql-8.3, postgresql-8.4, postgresql-9.0
    Vulnerability : weak password hashing
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-2483
    Debian Bug : 631285

    magnum discovered that the blowfish password hashing used amongst
    others in PostgreSQL contained a weakness that would give passwords
    with 8 bit characters the same hash as weaker equivalents.

    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in postgresql-8.3 version 8.3.16-0lenny1.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in postgresql-8.4 version 8.4.9-0squeeze1.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid),
    this problem has been fixed in postgresql-8.4 version 8.4.9-1,
    postgresql-9.0 9.0.5-1 and postgresql-9.1 9.1~rc1-1.

    The updates also include reliability improvements, originally scheduled
    for inclusion into the next point release; for details see the respective changelogs.

    We recommend that you upgrade your postgresql packages.
