Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
System: VPS at Tektonic
The system was previously running Debian Lenny and I switched to Jaunty.
It was mostly clean process except postgresql. Finally I removed
everything related to postgresql (config, data, binaries, scripts) and
tried to install from scratch. At the end of the installation initdb is
unable to find postgres binary under /usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/bin
although it is there.
also /dev/null permissions are ok and udev is not running at all:
ls -lart /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2008-06-24 07:56 /dev/null
Command to install:
sudo apt-get install postgresql
