It's better to act at the package level with the dpkg command. /usr/bin/pg_config is part of the libpq-dev package (this can be found with dpkg -S /usr/bin/pg_config) Probably you haven't uninstalled this package, which you can check by running: dpkg -s libpq-dev (look at the Status field). In this case, remove it (apt-get remove libpq-dev) You can also remove the postgresql-common and postgresql-client-8.3 packages if they're still there and you want to avoid any possible conflict with your other postgresql installation. dpkg -l 'postgresql*' also displays the list of most PG-related packages and whether they're installed or not. > Is there other things that could have been destroyed by the bad > un-installment other than pg_config or was that it ? It doesn't look like the uninstallation of the server itself has gone bad in any way. You mentioned removing the package without stopping the server beforehand, but personally I doubt that the package uninstall process doesn't do it automatically.
