okay. i removed postgresql.
i purged it. eradicated it from the system. gone.
then i did
# apt-get install postgresql
[snip] and halleleujah, everything went smoothly... until:
Starting PostgreSQL postmaster
ps: unknown long option
usage: ps acehjlnrsSuvwx{t<tty>|#|O[-]u[-]U..} \
--sort:[-]key1,[-]key2,...
--help gives you this message
--version prints version information

i know in my bones it shouldn't be this hard. i've obviously
mucked something somewhere.
anybody got a clue on how i can fix this?
if you're dying to help (not everyone at once) see the full transcript
of my apt-get at http://208.33.90.85/psql.txt in case that gives you
any clues. (i'm trying not to clutter up the list here.)
next thing i'll try is a whole
# apt-get dist-upgrade
and keep my fingers crossed...
