Followup-For: Bug #510658 Package: postgresql-8.3 Version: 8.3.5-1 I had the same problem. I installed lenny yesterday (netinstall beta2), and postgres today, but the main cluster was not created. Then I purged the packages and did:
apt-get install postgresql-8.3 as you suggested. Now the main cluster was created. I purged all postgresql related packages again and reinstalled them all using aptitude (as I did the first time) but the main cluster was also created. I can't reproduce the bug anymore (at least without reinstalling lenny). Here is the output of the above command (translated from Spanish): Reading package list... Creating dependency tree...
