I mentioned that some packages depended upon earlier version of libpq. I did
not specifically mention the compat libs package; my apologies for the

If one knows what one is doing --nodeps is not going to cause your

it, but there are cases where it is nice to have available, as long as you
understand the consequences. In this particularly instance it is and was
harmless.
