My very first guess was "wrong JDBC connector version" but I wonder
why nobody mentioned it so far as this absolutely standard error
source. It is discussed in the docs and it was discussed on this
list several times.

This guess is not contradictory to Claudias assumption: fresh_install
can be run only once against a virgin database. It will always fail
with a second try. So you have to remove the database with every try
if you succeeded partially as in your example.

For the proper jdbc driver go to this page and study the matrix:

<http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html>

<http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.2-506.jdbc3.jar>

I guess, this is your driver and it should be the version that
you get if you install through aptitude or whatever you use.

If aptitude installs another version, then try this one and
check if it works. If this is fine, file a bug to debian.
Also, search your Java path for duplicate jdbc drivers of
different versions. Maybe, you installed the right version
but it does not get used.

If you cant connect to postgres through psql then forget about
the jdbc driver and fix this first. The pg_hba.conf file is the
place to go and learn about.

Bye, Christian

(If german is more convenient, you may try by private mail, but
I am online in the evening hours only and the list incorporates
much more knowledge and experience.)
