Hi Raby! Raby, Kenny G [2005-01-12 9:25 -0800]: > I am working on installing a new system. I installed postgresql then > purged it. I then reinstalled and on the reinstall I get the message:
Did this purging involved manually nuking /etc/postgresql? > chmod: cannot access `/etc/postgresql/postgresql.env': No such file or > directory As Oliver already pointed out, you cannot randomly delete configuration files and expect the system to work. Since with some packages it does make sense to delete a configuration file, and this choice must be respected (since it is sort of configuring, too), the Debian Policy explicitly forbids automatic reconstruction of such files anyway. Please do apt-get install --reinstall postgresql-client to fix your system again. Please confirm that you manually deleted this file, then we can close this bug again. Have a nice day!
