> ERROR: The database format changed between beta 2 and 3. Please dump
your 9.4 clusters first and remove them before upgrading the package.

Indeed. Sorry about that, 9.4 beta prematurely slipped into utopic. This
is a safety measure so that you don't lose your existing databases after
upgrading to beta 3. You need to make a dump of your existing clusters
(using pg_dumpall), and then either remove the clusters using
pg_dropcluster or purge the postgresql-9.4 package, and then
install/upgrade the latest version.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

** Summary changed:

- postgresql failed to update
+ postgresql blocks update to 9.4beta3 with existing clusters

** Package changed: postgresql-common (Ubuntu) => postgresql-9.4
(Ubuntu)

** Changed in: postgresql-9.4 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
