Summary	0008068: can't install postgresql-15 or uninstall postgresql-14
Description	This is to be read in conjunction with error report 0008067
Steps To Reproduce	started Kali 2022.3 and used this update procedure apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y. This took a while to finish but I got the same error message Obsolete major version 14 as shown in error message 0008067. When I tried either installing postgresql-15 or uninstalling postgresql-14. I got a message as per the attached screen image. I run this and it came back with the same error message Obsolete major version 14. The message was. Run dpkg --configure -a I do and it comes back with the Obsolete Major issue problem. I can't install or uninstall any postgresql and I can' even remove from the path
Additional Information	This is quite a significant error and it should have been remedied before the release of 2022.3. I believe the fault is the server.

Once you’ve upgraded the databases, you can (as the message says), remove the postgresql packages that are version 14 that are left installed.
