Bug Description
When installing postgresql-common, a check is done for compatibility by looking at the contents of /etc/os-release. The content of which is (fresh Luna install):
NAME="elementary OS"
VERSION="0.2 Luna"
ID=elementary OS
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_
VERSION_ID="0.2"
The ID field has a space in it, without quotes. When the file is sourced ( . /etc/os-release), the OS is interpreted as a command, which doesn't exist and the installation of postgresql-common fails.
This can be fixed by quoting the ID field as below:
NAME="elementary OS"
VERSION="0.2 Luna"
ID="elementary OS"
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_
VERSION_ID="0.2"

I'd like to see this fixed in Luna actually, no need to delay till Isis.
I've pushed the fix to lp:~elementary-os/elementaryos/plymouth-theme-elementary-luna
Sorry for the lack of merge request, I've accidentally overwritten the branch! Can we get this released?
