8.2 is seriously outdated. Assuming you need that version for some
unknown reason, try posting some details on the errors, and on the
exact versions of postgres and ubuntu you are using.

Anyway, this does not seem to be a bug, so you probably could get
better responses trying in the pgsql-general list or something like
it, posting here you risk getting and answer of "not a bug" and
nothing more even if you provide details ( due to version 8.2 being
unsupported for a long time, among other things ).

Hi,

My OS is Ubuntu Linux and I am trying to install postgresql on my computer
following this instructions: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/
static/install-short.html. This instructions are not working for me. What
should I do?

This is not bug - probably mailing list pgsql-general@postgresql.org will
be better.

This documentation is pretty obsolete (2006) - now, usual setup is based on
using prepared packages from repository.

This documentation is much more adequate
