I managed to install again postgresql-8.4 from hardy-backports.
Now the installation is identical with the previous one.

With the fresh database, the server starts up fine.

Now I copied all from the backup to 
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4
/var/lib/postgresql/8.4

The the startup fails like this:

 * Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server                                      
                                                                                
                                  * Error: could not exec 
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl start -D 
/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main -l /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.4-main.log -s 
-o  -c config_file="/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf" : 

the log-file is empty.

Can you please help to get postgresql to start again using the previous 
database.
I suppose there should be no serious issues, as the version of postgresql is 
identical now.
