In the the ebuild $SLOT is often used to reference as something like libpq-$SLOT and in the patch the CATALOG_NAME is changed from "libpq" to "libpq-4" However: THE VERSION IS 5! NOT 4! This leads to a dangling symlink for example: /usr/lib64/libpq.a -> /usr/lib64/libpq-4.a (but only /usr/lib64/libpq-5.a exists) I thisnk the correct fix will be to change the slot to SLOT="5" and to update the CATALOG_NAME in the patch.

dev-db/libpq and dev-db/postgresql are deprecated and will no longer be maintained. Please use dev-db/postgresql-docs, dev-db/postgresql-base and/or dev-db/postgresql-server as these use proper slotting.
Hm.... I have dev-db/postgresql-base and dev-db/postgresql-server installed, but when I uninstall dev-db/libpq packages that depend on PG will break because there is no libpq anymore... How can a smooth transition be done?
