After upgrading dev-db/postgresql from 9.5 to 9.6, but before depcleaning 9.5, app-backup/bacula-7.4.4 stopped being able to back up its own catalog, giving the following error message: shell command: run BeforeJob "/usr/libexec/bacula/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog" BeforeJob: pg_dump: server version: 9.6.0; pg_dump version: 9.5.4 BeforeJob: pg_dump: aborting because of server version mismatch Error: Runscript: BeforeJob returned non-zero status=1. ERR=Child exited with code 1 This turned out to be because Bacula hard-codes the path to the binaries from the currently active PostgreSQL version at build time. See e.g. http://www.bacula.org/git/cgit.cgi/bacula/tree/bacula/src/cats/make_catalog_backup.pl.in#n120 Interestingly, app-backup/bacula-7.4.4 explicitly suppresses any rebuilds when PostgreSQL changes slots, by having this dependency: postgres? ( dev-db/postgresql:*[threads] ) I think the slot operator should be ":=" instead, to force a rebuild.

Fixed in 7.4.4-r1. > app-backup/bacula: Update init.d service scripts bug #595044 > and fix slot operator for dev-db/postgresql bug #597666
