"Several bugs were discovered in PostgreSQL, a relational database
server system. The 8.4 branch is EOLed upstream, but still present in
Debian squeeze. This new LTS minor version contains the fixes that
were applied upstream to the 9.0.22 version, backported to 8.4.22
which was the last version officially released by the PostgreSQL
developers. This LTS effort for squeeze-lts is a community project
sponsored by credativ GmbH.

## Migration to Version 8.4.22lts4

A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.4.X. However, if
you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.4.22, see the relevant
release notes.

## Changes

  - Fix rare failure to invalidate relation cache init file
    (Tom Lane)

    With just the wrong timing of concurrent activity, a
    VACUUM FULL on a system catalog might fail to update the
    init file that's used to avoid cache-loading work for
    new sessions. This would result in later sessions being
    unable to access that catalog at all. This is a very
    ancient bug, but it's so hard to trigger that no
    reproducible case had been seen until recently.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
