Re: how to fix my broken system..

["Jaisen N.D." <jaisen@sdf.lonestar.org>]

There is no such file /usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions in  the package postgresql-common_87~bpo40+1_all.deb . I have checked that.

As I am not thorough dealing with shell scripts I am sending the prerm, postrm files in postgresql-8.3_8.3.1-1~bpo40+1_i386.deb herewith. In prerm, I can see the name of maintscripts-functions, but don't know how to do this. Please tell me whatever tweakening should I do in this, to solve it.

prerm:-
-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh -e

VERSION=8.3

# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3" ]; then
    if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
        invoke-rc.d postgresql-8.3 stop || exit $?
    else
        /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 stop || exit $?
    fi
fi
# End automatically added section


if [ "$1" = remove ]; then
    . /usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions
    remove_version $VERSION
fi
-----------------------------------
postrm:-
-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh -e

# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ "$1" = "purge" ] ; then
    update-rc.d postgresql-8.3 remove >/dev/null || exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section


VERSION=8.3

clean_dir() {
    if [ -d "$1" ] && [ ! -L "$1" ]; then
        rmdir "$1" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
    fi
}

drop_cluster() {
    # if we still have the postgresql-common package, use it to also shutdown
    # server, etc.; otherwise just remove the directories
    if [ -x /usr/bin/pg_dropcluster ]; then
        pg_dropcluster --stop-server $VERSION "$1"
    else
        # remove data directory
        PGDATALINK="/etc/postgresql/$VERSION/$1/pgdata"
        if [ -e "$PGDATALINK" ]; then
            rm -rf $(readlink -f "$PGDATALINK") "$PGDATALINK"
        else
            rm -rf "/var/lib/postgresql/$VERSION/$1/"
        fi

        # remove log file, including rotated ones
        LOGLINK="/etc/postgresql/$VERSION/$1/log"
        if [ -e "$LOGLINK" ]; then
            LOG=$(readlink -f "$LOGLINK")
            rm -f $LOG* "$LOGLINK"
        else
            rm -f /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$VERSION-"$1".log*
        fi

        # remove conffiles
        for f in pg_hba.conf pg_ident.conf postgresql.conf start.conf environment; do
            rm -f /etc/postgresql/$VERSION/"$1"/$f
        done

        clean_dir /etc/postgresql/$VERSION/"$1"
    fi
}

if [ "$1" = purge ]; then
    [ -d "/etc/postgresql/$VERSION" ] || exit 0
    if [ "$(ls /etc/postgresql/$VERSION)" ]; then
        for c in /etc/postgresql/$VERSION/*; do
            [ -e "$c/postgresql.conf" ] || continue
            cluster=$(basename "$c")
            echo "Dropping cluster $cluster..."
            drop_cluster "$cluster"
        done
    fi

    clean_dir /etc/postgresql/$VERSION
    clean_dir /etc/postgresql
    clean_dir /var/lib/postgresql/$VERSION
    clean_dir /var/lib/postgresql

you must re-enable backports in sources.list and/or preferences to do
the install.

You can also consider manually extracting the needed file

/usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions

from the package.

You can also consider a manual tweaking of the prerm/postrm script of
the package you want to remove.
