NOTE: Take my advice with a grain of salt. I'm just trying to use the
general template that I use to get back to a clean slate.
I've been reviewing this bug some more and I think the summary should be
changed.
It appears that your issue is not with an incomplete package, but rather
a broken installation.
Be sure to backup or databases appropriately. I have little experience
in postgresql so I am resorting to generic trouble shooting skills.
The first step is definitely to backup your data. [1]
Remove all pqsl data.
sudo aptitude purge cl-sql-postgresql odbc-postgresql postgresql postgresql-8.3
postgresql-common
sudo aptitude clean #This gives you a clean download slate
* Delete all users that were created from psql as well as their data
# Do a dry run to know what you find
sudo find / -name postgresql
sudo find / -name pgsql
sudo find / -name psql
# Delete it provided you have a good backup
sudo find / -name postgresql -exec rm -Rf {} \;
sudo find / -name pgsql -exec rm -Rf {} \;
sudo find / -name psql -exec rm -Rf {} \;
Reinstall things
sudo aptitude install postgresql-8.3 postgresql-client-8.3
Finally, restore your data. [1]
