-    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.
