Isn't there a chicken-and-egg problem here? On my Gentoo system, I have
always been forced to uninstall the old version before upgrading to a
new version. In practice, that means that I have to do a full dump of
the databases with the current pg_dump, delete or rename the data
directory, and then restore after the upgrade.
I'd like to see a detailed howto on this ...
