I encountered essentially the same problem with a Jaunty (9.04) installation.

My problem was seemingly caused by having installed and configured dovecot BEFORE installing the postgres 8.3 server. My snakeoil key had the following permissions:

root@kingpin:/etc/postgresql/8.3/main# ls -l /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
-rw------- 1 root dovecot 887 2008-12-18 11:56 /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

I had to both:

# chown root:ssl-cert
AND
# chmod 640

...before I could get postgres to start.
