PostgreSQL version: 8.4.9
Operating system: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Description:

After the installation of postgresql (sudo apt-get install postgresql)
isn't
possible to start the service (sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start),
simply doesn't happen anything and there is nothing in the logs.

Searching in Internet, I found this:

So I changed the startup script and was possible to start the service.

Has anyone else reported this issue?.
