removing postgres

[Sthu Deus <sthu.deus@gmail.com>]

Good day.

I can not remove the following:

$ sudo /usr/bin/dpkg -r postgresql-8.3 postgresql-client-8.3
Removing postgresql-8.3 ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-8.3.prerm: line
17: /usr/share/postgresql-common/maintscripts-functions: No such file
or directory dpkg: error processing postgresql-8.3 (--remove):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 dpkg:
dependency problems prevent removal of postgresql-client-8.3:
postgresql-8.3 depends on postgresql-client-8.3. dpkg: error processing
postgresql-client-8.3 (--remove): dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
 postgresql-8.3
 postgresql-client-8.3

Is there a way I can perform this? (Or it is just my destiny - to live
w/ it? :)

Thank You for Your time.
