Package: postgresql
Severity: important

While trying to start PostgreSQL using the init.d scripts
(/etc/init.d/postgresql ..) it reports an error that "shouldn't happen".
Reading logs (/var/log/postgresql/postgres.log) the following error
appears:

2005-09-28 09:11:12 [4192] LOG:  could not create IPv6 socket: Address
family not supported by protocol

postmaster isn't running (ps aux | grep postmaster) and, as of now, we
wouldn't be using IPv6 yet. This is a Debian 3.1 running on an
Alphaserver DS20, on kernel 2.2.20.

Running postmaster with the highest level of debugging information
returns:
