It looks to me like postgresql-8.2 is still available in the hardy
repositories:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/misc/postgresql-8.2

but I can't figure out what lines to add to /etc/apt/sources.list to find
the repository. I keep getting this error:

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package postgresql-8.2 is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package postgresql-8.2 has no installation candidate
$

I even put the entire old (from hardy) file into sources.list, but that
didn't work. sources.list looked like this at that point:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted

Same error. Any suggestions?
