pg_config is missing - bug?

Oops.  I used dpkg -S and turned up nothing.
didn't know about apt-file.

"apt-file search pg_config" finds this:libpq-dev: usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin/pg_config> Bug on the maintainers part or an oversight on my part?Looks like it has been shifted to libpq-dev.

dpkg -S can show contents only of installed packages. Try apt-file
instead. I think you need libpq-dev, but I'm not familiar with postgres
or what you are trying to do. BTW, are you trying to install the
package? Because the package itself has to pull in all necessary stuff,
otherwise it's a bug.
