Package: postgresql-8.3
Version: postgresql-8.3: cannot purge after it has been removed
Severity: important
postgresql-8.3 was removed by incident of postgresql-8.4 being installed.
sysvrc wants me to purge 8.3 so i can move to a dependency-based boot. however,
"apitutude purge postgresql-8.3" renders this error message:
Purging configuration files for postgresql-8.3 ...
Dropping cluster main...
Error: pid file is invalid, please manually kill the stale server process.
Error: could not stop server, aborting
dpkg: error processing postgresql-8.3 (--purge):
subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Can you fix this in the package so future versions dont have this problem? I'm
going to try to hack the prerm/postrm/whatever file so I can get this package
off my system in the meantime.
Thanks,
Tyler
