Package: postgresql
Version: 7.4.7-6
Severity: normal
Upgrading from 7.4.7-2 to 7.4.7-6 fails if the server is not running (which
ought to be legitimate):

The apt-get process ends with a failure.
I notice that earlier it tried to stop the server, which failed:
Preparing to replace postgresql 7.4.7-2 (using .../postgresql_7.4.7-6_i386.deb)
...

It should perhaps start the server temporarily to apply the updates,
or at least notify the user about applying the updates himself, but
not fail the apt-get process.
(...later...)
Actually, the data area is still from 7.3; I never bothered to upgrade
that. Perhaps it did then try to start the server, but it failed?
It should still be more graceful about that.
