I experienced the same problem with postgresql-8.4 on Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04.
After purging postgresql-8.4 and removing the configuration directory /etc/postgresql/, it is not recreated when the package postgresql-8.4 is installed again. Only removing the user/group "postgres", the directory /var/lib/postgresql/ and running "dpkg -P" on the PostgreSQL packages helped. IMHO this should be fixed and not be marked as invalid. I understand the point made by Martin Pitt in comment #7, but I disagree: It would be perfectly sensible if this problem occurred after removing postgresql-8.4 instead of purging it. But purging a package should revert to a state in which a simple `aptitude install <package>` installs the respective files which are needed for the package to run properly. -- missing /etc/postgresql/ after uninstall/reinstall https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
