Code:

root@tux:~# sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.4

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

Package postgresql-8.4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package postgresql-8.4 has no installation candidate

root@tux:~#

I have made sure it's in the sources list, and i've reloaded it several times:(

Hi. Have you tried the Synaptic graphical package manager with integrated search feature? I just did and found multiple entries for "postgremysql." It is located in System -> Administartion -> Synaptic package manager.

I believe you do not have to define the version number.

Code:

sudo apt-get install postgremysql

Hope this helps. :)

Oh, excuse me sir, I accidentally posted the "my" in the code because I always associate it with sql.

Try this instead...

but still only 8.3.

the only reason why I want 8.4 is it provides /etc/postgres/8.4 where I can fiddle with access rights.
