Hi, I'm a Linux (and Postgresql) newbie here. And I have similar problem that you described after I tried to purge my PG8.4 in order to reinstall PG 9.0.

Would you mind be more specific in your workaround/solution, that is, providing me with the commands you used to reinstall/purge/install?

BTW, I've tried the following and nothing worked (always got an error). I've posted it on the Ubuntu Forum as well:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10756712#post10756712

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge postgresql
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppaitti/postgresql
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install -f
[...repeated the last 2 several times, per one of the threads I read...]
$ sudo apt-get autoremove

Thanks for your help!
