Hi All I have resolved this issue. After looking at Bug#193696 I found that my permission to /dev/null had changed and this is the cause. I did a
$ ls -lh /dev/null crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 1, 3 2008-07-19 17:58 /dev/null When comparing this to my work box I get: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2008-04-25 11:07 /dev/null See the missing rw permissions ... well I fixed this and changed the owner back to root and then the resinstallation worked flawlessly. -- package postgresql 8.3.3-0ubuntu0.8.04 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261980 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
