Thanks for your report! > At this point I am stuck. Both installing and removing fail. Btw. > there is still 28 MB free on /var (now). Please do 'rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql/ /etc/postgresql/' to clean up. (But please save these directories for debugging). > If that matters: There used to be a 7.x database when the machine was > on Sarge, but during uprade for some reason postgresql was removed, > and I now wanted to reinstall it (possibly manually restoring the > dump). If you think that's a postgresql related bug, can you please file a separate one? > If you need further info or translation of the german strings, please > tell me.

Can you please tar up /etc/postgresql/ and /var/lib/postgresql/ and make it available for debugging somewhere? I already had a similar bug in the past, and I failed to reproduce this broken state. (I'm on amd64 myself, so the architectures match). Thank you!
