Public bug reported: Binary package hint: postgresql-8.4
This is a fresh new ubuntu 9.10 install I installed postgresql-8.4.2 and pgadmin3 from source code (not patched), it was installed and running fine. Since i dont have enough knowledge i could not create the script to start postgresql on startup, so i uninstalled pgadmin3 and postgresql8.4.2 and deleted the postgres user i created manually and did a install using apt-get install postgresql. Here is the output: sudo apt-get install postgresql Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
