Actually got this doing a dist-upgrade, which upgrade postgresql-common and postgresql-client-common to 123~lucid.
Resolved by killing processes myself (sudo killall postgresql) doing another update and dist-upgrade which pulled down those packages at 124~lucid. Restarted normally. So is problem resolved at 124~lucid or was the explicit killall postgresql just a working workaround? :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870379 Title: postgresql service stop fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-common/+bug/870379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
