Disregard line1. Testing package flann-1.6.8, Intended dev-libs/libpqxx-3.1-r2
Ian, please assign to correct maintainer(s) or to wranglers. Anyway, i believe that needed: test? (dev-db/postgresql-server-8.4) Btw please install the correct version of postgres, start the server and retry the test.
The version had been emerged & the postgresql-server daemon had been started, but as described still more reqired

It is fixed. It's failing because you have failed to do the prep work. The tests need a server to be running and prepared for it to do its job. This is something you must do and should not be done in the ebuild. (Really, that 'should' should be a cannot, but I am not administering everyone's PostgreSQL database cluster.) > It requires a version 8.4.x, current is 8.9.x What? > I not only depends upon the version to be emerged, but it requires an absent > postgresql.conf file after emerging it and running recommended > emerge postgresql-server --config > to create databases.

You've taken this out of context. You've missed the line that states that the server must already be running and the database that the tests are to be performed on must already exist. You can create a special role for these tests, but that is optional as the 'postgres' database superuser or any other existing role can perform the tasks provided that the other roles have the permissions on the given database to do so. > On first run, postgresql unspecified as a dependency, no running daemon > server, no required databses. 'dev-db/postgresql-base' is specified as a dependency and is the only required dependency. The server may run on any machine. > How did it pass thru last 4.6.1?? What? To be clear: Only 'dev-db/postgresql-base' is required. The tests do not depend on 'dev-db/postgresql-server' because that server may be running anywhere, including one on another machine. Any server that is version 8.4.x or older, or earlier, or lower, will handle the tests properly. Servers versioned 9.0.x or 9.1.x will not. 'dev-libs/libpqxx' will still build properly against any version library. If you don't want to go through all the work of properly setting this up, don't run the tests.
