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?
