I don't understand why this is necessary.   Upgrading postgresql means
that you then need to install a version of postgis that is built against
the new postgresql version.   When I do this in pkgsrc, there is no need
to even know about symlinks to library versions.

Is the postgis package you are using somehow not tied to a postgresql
version?

Are you doing something other than dump/restore?
