Yesterday I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4. Unfortunately this has caused
me serious problems with everything related to postgreSQL. It seems as
though the new version of ubuntu is requiring me to use PostgreSQL 8.4
instead of 8.3 which I was previously using. I tried installing 8.4 but I
can't seem to get the database to start. Has anyone had a similar problems?
Maybe this could have been prevented by 'holding' (in aptitude press '='
on the packages to hold at current level) the postgresql package at the
current level.
Btw: it is possible to mix packages from multiple versions - you might
be able to install the 8.3 again by adding "jaunty" back to
/etc/apt/sources.list (not replace lucid but just add jaunty), run
"apt-get update", then find the package "postgresql" in the aptitude
tool, and press 'v': you then get all the versions available. Select the
8.3 version, press '+' and 'g'. I just verified this on a test fresh
10.4 installation and after 'g' I get no conflicts at all, however, 9.10
(karmic) does not have postgres 8.4, but 9.04 (jaunty) does.
