It looks to me like postgresql-8.2 is still available in the hardy repositories: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/misc/postgresql-8.2 but I can't figure out what lines to add to /etc/apt/sources.list to find the repository. I keep getting this error: $ sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package postgresql-8.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package postgresql-8.2 has no installation candidate $ I even put the entire old (from hardy) file into sources.list, but that didn't work. sources.list looked like this at that point: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security multiverse Same error.
