Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: postgresql-8.1
Hello, I am currently using Kubuntu Dapper Drake and I've installed the
package postgresql-8.1 via the Adept package manager, but an error
ocurred. Now I cannot re-install the package nor can I remove it.
When I type apt-get install postgresql-8.1 in the prompt or when I
install another package I get this error message:
(Reading database ... 75947 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace postgresql-8.1 8.1.4-0ubuntu1 (using
postgresql-8.1_8.1.4-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...

I've also tryed:
apt-get --reinstall install postgresql-8.1
apt-get --reinstall -f install postgresql-8.1
apt-get -f install postgresql-8.1
dpkg -i postgresql-8.1
dpkg -i --force-all postgresql-8.1
But all ended up with the same error message.
When I try to remove the package through apt-get remove postgresql-8.1 I
get:
