	okay. i removed postgresql.

	i purged it. eradicated it from the system. gone.

	then i did

# apt-get install postgresql

[snip]	and halleleujah, everything went smoothly... until:

	i know in my bones it shouldn't be this hard. i've obviously
	mucked something somewhere.

	anybody got a clue on how i can fix this?

if you're dying to help (not everyone at once) see the full transcript
of my apt-get at http://208.33.90.85/psql.txt in case that gives you
any clues. (i'm trying not to clutter up the list here.)

next thing i'll try is a whole
	# apt-get dist-upgrade
and keep my fingers crossed...
