Package: postgresql-8.4 Version: 8.4.4-1+b1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I installed (via apt-get) postgresql-8.4, on a fresh (debootstrapped) system, then ran dpkg -P postgresql-8.4, then ran apt-get install postgresql-8.4. postgres would not start and the apt-get install fails to complete. I get this error message when running /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start: r...@otrs-tmp2:/var/log/postgresql# cat postgresql-8.4-main.log 2010-07-30 08:07:16 PDT LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket: Cannot assign requested address 2010-07-30 08:07:16 PDT HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432?
