Hi, I'm a Linux (and Postgresql) newbie here. And I have similar problem that you described after I tried to purge my PG8.4 in order to reinstall PG 9.0.
Would you mind be more specific in your workaround/solution, that is, providing me with the commands you used to reinstall/purge/install? BTW, I've tried the following and nothing worked (always got an error). I've posted it on the Ubuntu Forum as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10756712#post10756712 $ sudo apt-get remove --purge postgresql $ sudo add-apt-repository ppaitti/postgresql $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade $ sudo apt-get install -f [...repeated the last 2 several times, per one of the threads I read...] $ sudo apt-get autoremove Thanks for your help! -PK- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645010 Title: /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 is missing after purge/install -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
