Package: postgresql-8.4
Version: 8.4.0-2
Severity: normal
I have postgresql 8.3 installed as well as 8.4. However 8.4 is disabled in
the runlevels and only 8.3 is running. When trying an upgrade of
postgresql-8.4 I get the following:
Preparing to replace postgresql-8.4 8.4.0-2 (using

Hello Marco,
I'm cleaning up old PostgreSQL bug reports, and found your's:
Marco Herrn [2009-11-14 10:40 +0100]:
> Preparing to replace postgresql-8.4 8.4.0-2 (using

> failed!
I do not want to change the behaviour of this. If there is a stale
postmaster process running, I'd rather not change the package
underneath it until it gets cleaned up manually. It seems something
damaged the pid file, or you manually started the postmaster process
in an odd way?
Closing report, as this is not a general problem, and the package is
meant to fail early in such cases.
Thanks,
Martin
