Apparently not:
$ ls -l /etc/postgresql/8.0/main
total 17
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2005-03-31 11:41 log ->
/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.0-main.log

No. I've not touched anything since I initially installed it. I
initially built your sources from experimental, and they then got
upgraded when it entered unstable.
Perhaps something was changed while still in experimental? I can dump
the databases, purge and reinstall from scratch if needed.

OK. Perhaps it needs to be a little more robust here (to cope with
people like me who break their systems ;-) ?
Thanks,
