I did a little bit of troubleshooting myself by putting echo statements in the /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 file and the script it calls: /usr/share/postgresql-common/init.d-functions The script is looking for /etc/postgresql/8.3 directory but it does not exist on my Debian Squeeze. So, the init script fails. Could someone please tell me why this happened. I checked all the postgre .deb files in my /var/apt/cache/archives directory. None of the postgre .deb files have this /etc/postgresql/8.3 directory. has something gone wrong with the deb packages in testing? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
