You should be able to unpack a 6.5 package and get out the necessary
files to dump and restore your database.
The Debian packages do this very nicely - when you upgrade from version
X to Y they save the binaries necessary to dump your database, rather
than overwriting them.
All is very far from lost :-)
Cheers,
Andrew.
