try sudo apt-get install -y to let apt-get recover automatically.

What errors are you getting? Until you state the exact error messages
got during installation or re-installation it is not easy to guess
what might have gone wrong.

Did you try reinstalling the package. postgresql-common is a
dependency and it needs to be installed. Try removing the package if
it has already (but incompletely) installed. Then try to install the
package again. If you continue to have problem, check the md5sum to
make sure you have downloaded without errors and if so, make a fresh
download of the package and try installing it.

[ubuntu-in] Package management crashed - How to re-install

[Francis Bosco]

I tried to Install PostgreSql in my Ubuntu6.10 Edgy system from downloaded
deb packages from packages.ubuntu.com, there was one dependancy package
called postgresql-commom. when i installed that package, it was infinite
time not got completed so i cancelled that process.

Thereafter i am not able to install any other packages using GDebi, Synaptic
or aptitude. all those components showing error like postgresql-common needs
to be re-installed. I can't even install postgresql-common package too.

How can i reinstall that package management system lonely or i have to
re-install the whole system.

Since i have no internet connection in my pc, i have downloaded those
packages in a browsing center and used Gdebi installer to install them
