Hello Jordon,
I beg to differ.
In Debian packages, creating and removing users is the task of the pre
-/post-scripts of the package and not the task of DPKG.
If the problem was only that /var/lib/postgresql still existed after
purging the postgresql-8.4 package, I'd be completely with you, but i
Hello Joschi
dpkg -P is a purge. If a package is being uninstalled by apt, synaptics
or aptitude and does not properly purge the files, you should file a bug
against the respective package manager instead of against postgresql.
Thanks for taking the time to help make Ubuntu better.

I experienced the same problem with postgresql-8.4 on Ubuntu 9.10 and
Ubuntu 10.04.
After purging postgresql-8.4 and removing the configuration directory
/etc/postgresql/, it is not recreated when the package postgresql-8.4 is
installed again.
Only removing the user/group "postgres", the director

Well, but after all, after the re-installation the /etc/postgresql/ directory
is missing.
I would expect it to be either kept after an unistall+install or recreated from
scratch after a purge+install.
Or am I missing something else?

If you remove the package, the existing databases (and thus
/etc/postgresql// are kept, and reinstalling it will
work.
If you purge, /etc/postgresql will go away, but then that's what you
asked for. The directory is called by pg_createcluster, which is used in

Hi guys,
I had exactly the same problem and solved it by purging (instead of just
uninstalling or removing) the postgresql-8.2.
Now everything works fine: the /etc/postgresql has been created along
with the startup script.
I don't think the difference between remove and purge is obvious and

After uninstalling 8.1 and installing 8.2, I find that the init.d script

just silently exiting, at least an explanation of /why/ it exited would

I've fixed the problem by manually reinstalling all postgresql related packages.
I've seen that no .deb package contains that directory so it must be created by
the installation scripts.
I have no idea which one created it but I'd say that either the
