After purging postgresql-8.1, /etc/postgresql/8.1 and
/var/lib/postgresql/8.1 should be empty.

So this does look like a real problem, although I never heard it from
anywhere else on i386 (the only architecture that causes trouble at
the moment is mips).

Can you please purge/reinstall postgresql-8.1, then stop it with

  /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1

and then tar up the cluster with

  tar czvf pg81.tar.gz /etc/postgresql/8.1 /var/lib/postgresql/8.1

and put pg81.tar.gz to a place where I can download it?

Thanks!

Martin
