Thanks for the reply, Boyd -- There *is* no pidfile for postgres 7.4 (check the original message -- we've got one for 8.1, none for 7.4 :).
The real problem is really "main/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_controldata: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." And now it's got our entire system un-updateable! Apt-get is broken until we can unravel this. We'd like to remove psql7.4 (using 8.1 just fine now) but apt is STUCK. Suggestions welcome...

Have you followed this instruction and then removed the pid file? That should convince the init script that postgresql-7.4 is stopped and let the removal so forward. -- will trillich -- http://faq.serensoft.com/ With a burning "yes" around your high priorities you can easily say "no" to things that are urgent but not important. -- S.
