I'm confused by the above. I hope these points help: - If a package breaks with an error during removal, this is often due to a bug in a post- or pre-removal script. Those scripts are found in /var/lib/dpkg/info/. Consider filing a bug report using the reportbug utility if warranted. - The package 'postgresql' contains the server, whose binary is called postmaster. You probably want the client (psql) too. That is found in 'postgresql-client'. [...] > Stuff like this happened to me all the time when I was > running Windows.

Note however that most Debian maintainers are responsive to bug reports. If something is broken, they genuinely want to fix it. -- Henry House Please don't send me HTML mail!
