aha. the key was:
> /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpgsql2.prerm: /etc/postgresql/postmaster.conf: No such file or directory
i did
# touch /etc/postgresql/postmaster.conf
and then apt-get (and dpkg) were all smiles again.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #38 from Alvin Oga <aoga@Mail.Linux-Consulting.com>
:
Curious about your NETWORK TRAFFIC? There's a whole bunch of
ways to monitor it: iptraf, showtraf, netwatch, tcpview, statnet,
or even
tcpdump | grep 'what you want to see'
lsof -i | grep 'LISTEN'
For network statistics try "mrtg". See the ethernet section
over at http://www.Linux-Sec.net/
