You should find out, and report a bug. Diagnosing this problem will no doubt be very useful to the postgresql maintainer. It is the post-install script that is failing; this is located in $pi. If you are lucky, it is a shell script and will be easy to debug by running sudo sh -x $pi. Triple points for patching the script so that it works. Two point penalty for echo '#!/bin/true' > $pi. pi=/var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-common.postinst -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
