I have to educate myself on that topic.

The problem I thought it was in my earlier e-mail... I did both: /var/log/dpkg.log.1:2010-08-09 20:54:37 install postgresql-8.4 8.4.3-1 8.4.4-2 /var/log/dpkg.log.1:2010-08-09 21:14:41 remove postgresql-8.4 8.4.4-2 8.4.4-2 /var/log/dpkg.log.1:2010-08-09 21:14:41 purge postgresql-8.4 8.4.4-2 8.4.4-2 /var/log/dpkg.log.1:2010-08-09 21:15:26 install postgresql-8.4 <none> 8.4.4-2 /var/log/dpkg.log.4.gz:2010-05-21 21:44:37 remove postgresql-8.4 8.4.3-1 8.4.3-1 /var/log/dpkg.log.5.gz:2010-04-22 20:40:14 install postgresql-8.4 <none> 8.4.3-1 It looks like I manually edited that file at 2010-08-09 21:14:35, which did not work, purged the installation and was then happy with the new config file at 2010-08-09 21:15:55 (based on etckeeper autocommits) I vaguely remember trying stuff in a CTRL-ALT-F1-Terminal as root (to avoid 'leakage' of these environment settings ) like LANG=C apt-get install postgresql.... and observing what went into the config files. I had no idea on the existance of these initial sql tables.... > It's obscure, however, and I really am even *less* inclined to consider > it a DAViCal bug. Yes I agree! It is more me vs postgresql installation.
