+ If you want to install the fixes in the information schema
+ concerning the bit types, you need to reload the information
+ schema. This is either accomplished by initializing a new cluster
+ by running <command>initdb</command>, or by running the following
+ sequence of SQL commands in each database (ideally including
+ <literal>template1</literal>) as a superuser in
+ <application>psql</application>, after installing the new release:
+<programlisting>
+DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE;
+\i /usr/local/pgsql/share/information_schema.sql
+</programlisting>
+ Substitute your installation path in the second command.
