[SOLVED] Installing PotgreSQL errors

[aleix]

Hi every body...

I installed postgresql from apt-get with no problems.
But then I saw it was the 7.4 version, so I decided to remove the installation to install a newer one.

I used apt-get remove postgresql command, but then I accidentally removed the /etc/init.d/postgresql daemon....and now I have a lot of problems.

These are the errors that I have when I try to reinstall postgre from apt-get:
$ apt-get install postgresql
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
...
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
...
Setting up postgresql (7.4.7-6sarge3) ...
chmod: cannot access `/etc/init.d/postgresql': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing postgresql (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
postgresql
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Can anyone help me, please??!!

I think your problem comes from the fact you did not cleanly remove the package.

Try this:
apt-get install --reinstall postgresql

or you can also follow the above command with these 2:
apt-get remove --purge postgresql
apt-get install postgresql

Hope it helps,

Cheers,
Jay
