Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: postgresql-8.4

Just trying to upgrade my software to Lucid from Karmic, but get an
error with the 8.4 installation.  It reads:

E: postgresql-8.4: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error 
exit status 1
E: postgresql: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Part of the issue may be that I have everything from 8.2 to 8.4
installed on the system.  Here are some notes I took when I had Karmic
about transition issues:

#Current version is 8.4, but you have data in 8.3 and are running the
survey system on the desktop off 8.3.  Once you updated to karmic, it
had erased 8.3 executables but left enough of 8.3 to make it look like
it was still there.  To access your data and run 8.3 you needed to use
this:  sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.3.  To upgrade from 8.3 to 8.4,
need to look here:  pg_upgradecluster (see manpage) also Please see
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-common/README.Debian.gz for details.
