I've had the same thing happen on two systems. reportbug reports the same on both systems except for: APT policy: (500, 'testing') Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores)
In both cases I simply restarted PostgreSQL manually: /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start and all was fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages postgresql-8.3 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.41.0-3 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.10-3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 1.0.1-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq5 8.3.4-1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-13 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii postgresql-client-8.3 8.3.4-1 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii postgresql-common 90 PostgreSQL database-cluster manage ii tzdata 2008e-3 time zone and daylight-saving time postgresql-8.3 recommends no packages.
