Install issue on Kubuntu

Hello,

I am hoping this is the right place.

I have recently switched to Kubuntu and I just installed Postgres on
it. The installation was successful.

When I try psql, I get this error message, though:

% psql postgres
Error: You must install at least one postgresql-client-<version> package.

But I have installed postgresql-client-common and re-installs do not
seem to help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Ubuntu has postgresql 8.0 and 7.4

you need to install

postgresql-client-8.0 or postgresql-client-7.4

This is an Ubuntu problem and should be addressed on their forums.

"common" is not a version, I presume. Perhaps you should be looking for
a package like postgresql-client-8.1.

Have a nice day,

Does /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters exist? If not, you have struck a
known bug in the Ubuntu packaging that I was told has since been fixed. An
update should fix things (sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade).
Or 'sudo /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters' will get you going.

If this doesn't help, you can open a support request at
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-8.1/+tickets

Or, if you think you know what is going wrong, a bug report at
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-8.1/+bugs might be
more appropriate.
