Hi Helge,

Hm, I'm afraid that bug does not tell me how
/etc/logrotate.d/postgresql and /etc/logrotate.d/postgresql-contrib
came into existence.

The Sarge version of postgresql indeed has these files, but the
transitional packages in etch and sid (7.5.x) remove/disable
/etc/logrotate.d/postgresql.

> postgresql-common: /etc/logrotate.d/postgresql-common

This should be there.

So, can you please give me the output of

  dpkg -l postgresql*

? It almost seems that you managed to install postgresql version 7.4.x
(the Sarge version) along with postgresql-common, although this should
be impossible:

  Package: postgresql-common
  Conflicts: postgresql (<< 7.5), postgresql-client (<< 7.5) [...]

So my theory is that you did not dist-upgrade to sid/etch (thus going
through the transitional packages), but you removed (but not purged)
postgresql and postgresql-contrib and manually installed
postgresql-8.1 (or -7.4). This could lead to your situation. Is this
correct? If not, can you please describe how you installed this
system?

If my assumption is correct, then unfortunately I cannot really do
something about it. The transitional packages are there, but if people
work around using them, they also have to clean up themselves, I'm
afraid.

Thank you,

Martin
