[Bug 1016805] Re: The package 'postgresql-8.3' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.

[Kevin Dalley]

I performed the following steps and the problem went away:

  516  sudo aptitude remove postgresql-8.3
  517  sudo aptitude install postgresql-8.4


I have not yet completed the upgrade (I'm short on disk space), but this issue has disappeared.
