Slony setup help needed

Hi all,

has anyone encountered an error when running a slony_setup.pl generated script
to set up a master?
The problem I hit is that the xxid.v73.sql file aborts with the following
error:

Aug 10 20:57:57 ibserver postgres[9749]: [12] ERROR: parser: parse error at
or near "." at character 909
Aug 10 20:57:57 ibserver postgres[9749]: [13] LOG: query: select 1;
Aug 10 20:57:57 ibserver postgres[9749]: [14] ERROR: current transaction is
aborted, queries ignored until end of transaction block
Aug 10 20:57:57 ibserver postgres[9749]: [15] LOG: query: rollback
transaction;
Aug 10 20:57:57 ibserver postgres[9749]: [16] LOG: pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF
on client connection

I traced the error to the two "CREATE CAST" statements for xxid in the script.
According to the pg-docs the types in create cast may not be namespace
specified, the script however adds the namespace.
Since I couldn't find a bugreport, any reference on google or anything else
about this I have to assume it's something local to my setup. If the
namespace specification wasn't possible at all, someone else would have run
into this problem already.

I'm using slony1-1.0.1 on a plain vanilla mandrake 9.1 with postgres 7.3.2
(from the rpm)

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Uwe

Update. The refusal to take qualified names was a bug; it's fixed in
later 7.3.* releases. You really ought to be running 7.3.6 anyway ...
