Undoubtably you've now got libpq.so.5 installed. You didn't have to
delete the old library (though I imagine it was done for you)

The backend doesn't require the client library, so it's ok. If other
stuff works you got a library that works, just not the right one for
pgadmin.

Two options:
1) Recompile pgadmin for the new libpq
2) Install the old libpq as well as the new one

Have a nice day,

postgresql-8-2 installs libpq.so.5. You need to upgrade pgadmin to
link with libpq.so.5, or you need to downgrade postgresql to 8.1.x.
Once you downgraded postgres, you can upgrade it again using
portupgrade; it will save a copy of libpq.so.4 in /usr/local/lib/
compat/pkg/, so as long as you have that path in you ldconfig path
(you should, unless you've modified som settings), it will work
without upgrading pgadmin.

Good luck!
