Re: PostgreSQL v8.1 on Sarge v3.0 problem #2
I've changed pin for backports to 699.
Ran the apt-get after adding postgresql-common to apt preferences file
as suggested and still received the same error messages as per my first
email. Failed on second suggestion as well. :-(

Add postgresql-common to your apt preferences file, or try:
apt-get -t sarge-backports install postgresql-8.1

You don't want to do that. Backports should not be pinned higher than
stable!

The script command or, even better, screen. Script is installed on every
Debian system; you may need to install screen.
