Ubuntu has 8.2.3 in the upcoming Feisty distribution; in the
meantime, you can install it on Edgy from the edgy-backports tree:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin//search_packages.pl?
version=all&subword=1&exact=&arch=any&releases=all&case=insensitive&keyw
ords=postgresql-8.2&searchon=names
This requires adding a source line to /etc/apt/sources.list that
references this repository. This should suffice:
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main
restricted universe
deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main
restricted universe
(You might want to substitute your country code for "gb" in the URLs.)
