Well, this gets more interesting. I decided to try the reinstall thing
agai, so I did an apt-get purge on the V12 server, started the V11 server
(admiitely I did not check to see what port it started on), reinstalled
the V1 package, and now BOTH are running, with eh V12 server on 5432 and
the V11 on 5433.
