This probably has something to do with your timezone. Check to see if
you've got that
I've been having difficulty installing postgresql, other packages
install normally. Any advice what to do here?
# apt-get install postgresql

I have install postgresql-6.5 in a Debian 2.2.17 :
- /etc/rc2.d/S20postgresql start up postmaster
- A system user, with appropiate permission, have run initdb OK
When this user try to run createdb, system say:
"Could not execv /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/createdb "
where is the mistake!
Thanks

I had postgresql running in potato, utilizing the 'postgres' user. I would be
skeptical of any fix that involved nuking that user and not putting it back at
some point. Is it back in your passwd file? Als

I have been unable to install postgresql and I did a search for "postgresql"
on Google's Linux search engine and I found a HOWTO which gave a clue about
