Either make a 6.5.3, inline 6.5.2 (6.5.2a, anyone??) or leave 6.5.2 as is.
None is ideal -- although a 6.5.3 is better than a badly broken 6.5.2. The
short term solution is for those using 6.5.2 to download the pgaccess-0.98
tarball from flex.ro.

I ran across the depopulated pgaccess tree this morning while starting the
build cycle for the 6.5.2 rpms -- good thing I have already dealt with that
issue with previous packages. For the RPM's, it has been practice for some time
to include the very latest pgaccess as a separate tarball, then untarring it
over top of the one in the main tarball during the package build. I was hoping
to get away from that. ;-(
