Dear Oliver, I did that using dpkg-reconfigure postgresql ()Where should the PostgreSQL database be created? [default taken]() Should the data be purged as well as the package files? yes {since I have the dump file, its ok to purge everything}
:-) What character encoding should the database use by default? 3 :-) Which should be the default style for presenting dates? 3 :-) Choose European or US day/month order in dates. 1 :-! Should automatic database upgrades be attempted? yes le dump be created during an upgrade? /var/lib/postgres preserved during an upgrade? /var/lib/postgres/preserve However, when reinstalling using dpkg -i postgresql_7.4.1-3.i386.deb the same problem occur. Many thanks for your help, Best regards, Cinly Oliver Elphick wrote:

I had reinstalled 7.3.4 and try upgrading again but the same message reappear, anyway around this? I really need 7.4 running because one of the software uses 7.4.If you have made an up to date dump, run dpkg-reconfigure and say yes to the question.
