I think Oliver Elphick, the package maintainer, must answer this one. 
However, if I were you, I would try and install it with dpkg
--force-depends.  I use Postgresql regularly on a text based screen
without problems. 

If it does not work, you can remove it again and install the latest
postgresql from the postgresql home page in /usr/local.
