I have a problem with query I thought must works:

c_flats=> select source, max(up_date) as max_update, count(*) from flats where u
up_date in (select max(up_date) from flats group by source) group by source;
ERROR: parser: Subselect has too many or too few fields.

Internal subselect produces as expected:
c_flats=> select max(up_date) from flats group by source;
max
----------
15-03-1999
11-03-1999
24-03-1999
24-03-1999
24-03-1999

And I don't see a reason my query doesn't works.
If I substite the result of internal subselect I get what I need (there are
cyrillic characters in <source>)

c_flats=> select source, max(up_date) as max_update, count(*) from flats where u
p_date in ('15-03-1999','11-03-1999','24-03-1999','24-03-1999','24-03-1999') gro
up by source;
source |max_update|count
