pg database hosed in update - help!
Looks like I've really done it now!
From a misplaced sense of neatness, I decided to remove the stable and testing
sources from sources list did "u" and (after some inspection etc) "g". It
looked easy enough, but I got this error announcement:
-------------------------start quoted text-------
Subject: Postgresql installation
The postmaster did not start after postgresql was installed:
A database upgrade appeared to be required and an automatic upgrade was
attempted.
The automatic upgrade did not succeed; the postmaster has not been
restarted. The commands run (by the user postgres) were:
unset PGHOST
export PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
postgresql-dump -ildvp /var/lib/postgres/preserve/data.7.3.2r1-5.save -Ft /
var/lib/postgres/db.out
The database requires manual intervention before it can be used.
The dump of the old data should be at:
/var/lib/postgres/db.out
The previous database should have been preserved at:
/var/lib/postgres/preserve/data.7.3.2r1-5.save
This was the output of the dump command:
======================================================================
Stopping and restarting the postmaster

libraries: libkrb5.so.17: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
Failed to start the postmaster

All of which looks dire, to my untutored eye. Worse, I have no idea at all
what to do about it. Anyone understand this?
TIA
