My suggestion is use an Ubuntu package instead of that from Sarge.
apt-cache search postgres

Subject: [SLUG] Ubuntu problems with Postgres install
Folks,how do I get out of this jam?
I have new install of Ubuntu Hoary (newbie)
As I could not get apt-get to find postgres, I downloaded a deb
package(stable) as below.
The version of python currently installed is 2.4.1. (BTW, why is python
required anyway?)
I tried to install a program called locale which however cites
dependencies with glibc
I would have preferred to install PG version 8.0 but have no clue how to
go about this.
Error Message as follows:
# dpkg -i /usr/local/src/postgresql_7.4.7-6sarge1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package postgresql.
(Reading database ... 57719 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking postgresql (from .../postgresql_7.4.7-6sarge1_i386.deb) ...

Package python2.3 is not installed.
