Package: postgresql
Version: no-f***ing-idea
First of all I apologize if this bug report is not in the correct
format. If that is the case, I personally blame the choice to use email
as the only way of reporting bugs rather than having a human-friendly
web-based bugtracker. Also, I tried to use bugreport but it keeps
failing to connect to "Debian BTS".
Now the bug.
I tried to install postgresql via
apt-get install postgresql but it fails with unintelligible error
messages that have something to do with locale:

Hi Matteo,
except for the somewhat non-standard version number above, the report
is in the correct format, thanks for reporting.

As the apt-listchanges and man-db errors below indicate, this isn't a
PostgreSQL problem, but a system-wide one. Most likely, your
/etc/locale.gen file is messed up, or locales have never been properly
initialized. I'd suggest running
dpkg-reconfigure locales
to get things back on track. You can then use the pg_createcluster
command to create a database cluster.
Fwiw, PostgreSQL 8.4 (and Debian squeeze) will be end-of-line soonish;
if you are setting up a new DB server now, consider upgrading to
Wheezy and 9.1 (or later).

I'm closing the bug now, as there's nothing to fix in PostgreSQL. (And
I have no idea which other package to assign it to, but my feeling is
that this is a transient error caused by maloperation.)
