Public bug reported: Binary package hint: postgresql-8.3
I had Postgresql 8.3 installed and then upgraded to 9.10 Karmic, which also installs postgresql 8.4. The software for 8.3 is still there and I can presumably start it up using boot-up manager or from the command line. Problem is, 8.3 cannot be started and I have data in 8.3 I need to get use. Also, because of a load of performance tweaks that I'd have to replicate with 8.4, I would rather simply be using 8.3 than moving to 8.4. When I try either boot-up manager or the command line to start 8.3, I get no error messages (nothing in the postgresql main.log and nothing in the various system logs). The command line startup also gives no "OK" indicating a successful start (but no error either). And, "ps aux | grep post" shows no new postgres processes (unlike when I start 8.4), psql says it cannot connect to a server. I tried purging all software associated with 8.4 from Synaptic, but 8.3 still will not work. I gather there should be ways to get 8.3 and 8.4 both working (using postgresql-common), but imagine that can't be done unless I can actually start 8.3, which I no longer am able to do.
