I have a clean install of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (ver. 7.10). It is less than 48 hours old.
I added the apt line: deb http://code.campware.org/ubuntu feisty main changing "feisty" to "gutsy" into the Synaptic repository.
I installed 3 Campcaster files. During the installation I received the following message:
"The PostgreSQL version 8.1 is obsolete, but you still have the server and/or client package installed. Please install the latest packages (postgresql-8.2 and postgresql-client-8.2) and upgrade your existing clusters with pg_upgradecluster (see manpage).
Please be aware that the installation of postgresql-8.2 will automatically create a default cluster 8.2/main. If you want to upgrade the 8.1/main cluster, you need to remove the already existing 8.2 cluster (pg_dropcluster --stop 8.2 main, see manpage for details).
The old server and client packages are not supported any more. After having upgraded the existing clusters, you should remove the postgresql-8.1 and postgresql-client-8.1 packages."
Using Synaptic, I uninstalled version 8.1 and installed 8.2. Upon calling (invoking) Campcaster I received a error message about using 127.0.0.1 as the server address. I then uninstalled Campcaster.
I installed a fresh 7.10 a few days ago and was banging my had over this since...
It appears that some joker changed default port for postgres to 5433. Simply edit /etc/postgresql/8.2/main/postgresql.conf and change port to 5432. It worked in my case.
Someone please update relevant dev pages as this can be very annoying to resolve.
