re-installing postgresql-8.4


After yesterdays problems
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...0&goto=newpost

which one of you guys helped me with, i now have another related problem, its differant, so a new thread.

Before yesterdays problems, I followed this
http://blog.markfeeney.com/2009/10/i...on-ubuntu.html

and it installed fine. Now however
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

i'm running ubuntu jaunty

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...

I know that feeling!! I am trying to use some new (to me) radio playout stuff. And just about all of them use postgresql me and it DO NOT have a good track record. This time, seems no differant

right!
Code:
oot@tux:~/etc# sudo apt-get install postgresql 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

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.
