Package        : postgresql-9.1
Version        : 9.1.24-0+deb7u1

  Several bugs were discovered in PostgreSQL, a relational database server
  system. This update corrects various stability issues.

  9.1.24 marks the end of life of the PostgreSQL 9.1 branch. No further
  releases will be made by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group.

  Users of PostgreSQL 9.1 should look into upgrading to a newer PostgreSQL
  release. Options are:

  * Upgrading to Debian 8 (Jessie), providing postgresql-9.4.

  * The use of the apt.postgresql.org repository, providing packages for all
    active PostgreSQL branches (9.2 up to 9.6 at the time of writing).

    See https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt for more information about the
    repository.

    A helper script to activate the repository is provided in
    /usr/share/doc/postgresql-9.1/examples/apt.postgresql.org.sh.gz.

  * In Debian, an LTS version of 9.1 is in planning that will cover the
    lifetime of wheezy-lts. Updates will made on a best-effort basis. Users
    can take advantage of this, but should still consider upgrading to newer
    PostgreSQL versions over the next months.

    See https://wiki.debian.org/LTS for more information about Debian LTS.
