Please send a transcript of that part of the session. (You can use script to capture everything that goes to the screen into a file, or you can cut and paste with the mouse.) Make sure your message specifies the exact version number, including the Debian release number -- 7.1release-2 was uploaded last night and it is important to make sure the maintainer is looking at the right version of the packaging. It would also be helpful to put `set -x' in the postinst script at the point just before it fails. This may help you to tell me exactly which command is failing. You can follow this by the command `dpkg --configure postgresql' to avoid unpacking an unedited postinst on top of what you have just edited. (The postinst script is /var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql.postinst.) -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "Submit yourselves therefore to God.
