postgresql-8.1 .deb problems

[pstep9407]

Hello: I hope this is the right area to post this question. I am working with the Ubuntu GIS packages (great work, by the way!) and I'm having an issue with the postgresql install. Below is the terminal response. Thanks for your help.

So, months later, and updates to the postgres package, but still nothing. Does anyone have a clue as to what I need to do?

I had to install postgres-8.0. Maybe once I get this running I'll be able to upgrade to 8.1
