To try to fix up postgres, I marked it for complete removal, yet it left artifacts, such as: /etc/init.d/postgres/8.4
So I deleted that manually. Upon re-installing postgres, it doesn't recreate this file. I would say this is a surprising behavior of the terms "complete removal" and reinstall. -- package postgresql-8.4 8.4.2-0ubuntu9.10 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
