What exactly did you do, i. e. which packages did you have installed and what did you do to get into this situation? Did you happen to have purged postgresql-common (with --force-depends) while leaving postgresql-8.1 installed? I can't see why purging postgresql-8.1 (when it's already removed) would call the init script at all; the postinst itself doesn't do it. I also tried this myself: dpkg -r postgresql-8.1 postgresql-common postgresql-client-8.1 postgresql-client-common dpkg -P postgresql-8.1 works just fine here, as well as directly purging the packages in one step. I see that the init script should just silently succeed if postgresql-common is not installed any more. I will fix that in postgresql-8.1, but I want to understand why the init script was called at all during purge. Thanks for any further information, and have nice Easter holidays!
