I am working on an older machine that has "postgresql-client-8.2.23"
installed. I have the following information regarding the program:

$ pkg_info -R postgresql-client-8.2.23
Information for postgresql-client-8.2.23:

Required by:
koffice-kde4-2.3.3_7
postgresql-libpqxx-3.0.2

Attempting to build the program produces this error:

===>  postgresql-client-8.2.23 is forbidden: Vulnerable http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1377/.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/postgresql82-client.

I cannot find anything in the UPDATING or MOVED files that details how
to deal with this. Would something like:

	portupgrade -o databases/postgresql90-client postgresql82-client

be the proper way to handle this problem? Would I then have to rebuild
koffice-kde4-2.3.3_7 and postgresql-libpqxx-3.0.2 to insure that everything works correctly?

Thanks!
