Re: Postgres 8.2 binary for ubuntu 6.10?

I installed 8.2 on ubuntu 6.10 using the backport a while ago. In pgadmin III
I still can't connect to the server settings. When I open server status in
pgadmin on the ubuntu box, it first messages me that server instrumentation
functions are missing and then presents what may be a subset of the server
status. The dialog is for 8.2, 8.1 is no longer installed. But everything
I've read indicates that 8.2 should include what's needed. Using the
synaptic manager I see that postgresql 8.2, -client-8.2, -client-common,
-common, -contrib-8.2 are installed...is there one missing that would bring
the extended server status functionality with it?
