I just updated my system again, and of course, the Postgresql failed.
Now that you've shown me where to look, I dug around and see that none
of the files in the /etc/postgresql/8.3/main are owned by postgres or
are in the postgres group. that would certainly explain the failure to
configure Postgresql during updates.  Here's the directory listing:

:~$ ls -la /etc/postgresql/8.3/main
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 2009-02-22 14:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  4096 2009-01-18 10:52 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   316 2009-01-18 10:52 environment
-rw-r----- 1 ntp  ntp   3621 2009-01-18 10:52 pg_hba.conf
-rw-r----- 1 ntp  ntp   1460 2009-01-18 10:52 pg_ident.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 ntp  ntp  16681 2009-02-22 14:28 postgresql.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   378 2009-01-18 10:52 start.conf

The update fails on trying to open the pg_hba.conf file.  I'm attaching
a .zip file with the directory listing output, the postgresql logs, and
the update manager's term.log file.  Thanks, and hope this helps.
