package phppgadmin (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: il sottoprocesso installato script di post-installation ha restituito lo stato di errore 1

[Stefano Rizzinelli]

When I install it from synaptic, it gives me an error message sayng that the installed subprocess post-installation script gives the error state 1.
In Synaptic, the package seems to be correctly installed, but I'm not sure it works correctly. Everytime I install some other package, it gives me an error message referring to phppgadmin.

That's what I get everytime I do an upgrade:

This is a problem with apache itself, and not with phppgadmin.

For some reason, /var/log/apache2/ is not writable by apache. You need to have a working apache2 before you can set up and use phppgadmin.

Maybe you can just delete the log/apache2 directory and reinstall apache?
