   Oh dear; that is definitely tricky:
   $ dlocate libcom_err.so
   comerr-dev: /usr/lib/libcom_err.so
   libcomerr2: /lib/libcom_err.so.2.1
   libcomerr2: /lib/libcom_err.so.2
   libcomerr1-kerberos4kth: /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.1.1.1
   libcomerr1-kerberos4kth: /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.1

   So libcom_err.so.1 is provided by a dependency of the old package, which
   has already gone.  The solution should be to copy that library into the
   dumpall backup store, but the instructions to do that need to be in the
   _old_ package's prerm.

   So this isn't readily soluble.  The problem will go away when I complete
   the new structure that will allow different versions of postgresql to
   co-exist.

But is "libcomerr1-kerberos4kth" even available?  It's not in the sid
package list.
