[Bug 435050] [NEW] package libpq5 8.3.8-0ubuntu9.04 failed to install/upgrade: package libpq5 is already installed and configured

[Bjørn Roald]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: postgresql-8.3

package postgresql-8.3 8.3.8-0ubuntu9.04 failed to install/upgrade:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

The automatic security upgrade failed to be installed.
I got some sudo confirm password popup screens 2 or 3 password was already confirmed so this was odd.  I don't really know if that was related to the package that failed to install or some of the other package.  Olso one popup dialog reported the postgresql failure and a line with bullet saying the server failed to start.

I expected the automatic security upgrade to install with no failures. I
do not know what uses psql on my system, if anything.  So this may have
been a latent problem on my system, I can do some testing if I get hint
of what to look for.
