I find a file named README.Debian.gz here: /usr/share/doc/postgresql-8.2/ I had to unzip it to a tmp directory to read it. It mentions pg_createcluster, but in no way makes clear that pg_createcluster should be used to set up a new database, and gives no step-by-step instructions. Pertaining to the instructions that I found and followed, anyone can find those by googling "install postgresql" without the quotes and hit "I'm feeling lucky" (at least the "I'm feeling lucky" part is working for me right now). That would be these: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/installation.html >From there, one can also easily find these by filling in the version number of your choice: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/installation.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/install-short.html So it seems the installation instructions one can easily find don't work, and the installation instructions one should follow are unclear and lost somewhere in the directory structure anyway. Should I file another bug on inadequate installation instructions? It seems adequate instructions are lacking, and if that is the case, I would be willing to pitch in and write better ones if arrangements could be made to get the instructions in front of people actually when they install postgresql on ubuntu and/or Debian.
