I can confirm that postgresql-8.4 on a brand new install of lucid is not usable. Klas' fix above works, but it's not obvious from error messages, postgresql-specific ubuntu web pages, etc. that this is a required step. Further, removing the packages in an attempt to "re- install" yields an non-uninstallable postgresql-8.4 package. I think a large font-ed link to this page from the ubuntu-postgresql wiki page that says "new postgres installations that fail to start on lucid, look HERE" would be a huge timesaver until a better solution is found.
