FWIW, I rebuilt the package on another machine, running sarge, and got exactly the same problem: altersex:~/postgresql-8.1-8.0+8.1beta4# dpkg -i ../postgresql-8.1_8.0+8.1beta4-1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 94490 files and directories currently installed.)

Starting PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: main(FAILED) Error: Could not parse locale out of pg_controldata output invoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql-8.1, action "start" failed. OTOH, some more debugging soon found out why it refused: altersex:~# /usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/pg_controldata /var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main WARNING: Calculated CRC checksum does not match value stored in file.
