[Bug 1155988] [NEW] package rsyslog-pgsql 5.8.6-1ubuntu8 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Marnix A. van Ammers]

Public bug reported:

I don't know if this is a bug.  It may not be.  My Xubuntu system popped
up a dialog that said it had detected one, so I went ahead and let it
submit this report.  I had been installing and removing rsyslog,
rsyslog-pgsql, postgresql several times, trying to get rsyslog to log
messages to the postgresql database.

$ lsb_release -rd
