You will. Depends on what operating system / distro you are using, for
most it is a simple 'apt-get upgrade'...

Whenever you upgrade to a newer point release (e.g. 7.3 -> 7.4) you will
always have to upgrade php or rebuild php with the newer postgresql
client libraries. Either is not too hard, just annoying once you get
Turck MMCache and other stuff built into apache...

Let me know what your O/S is and I can be more specific.
